Gardaí pin hopes on forensic clues to ‘tiger raid’

GARDAÍ yesterday conducted detailed forensic examinations on at least four crime scenes in the hope of gleaming vital clues in relation to Monday’s tiger kidnapping.

Senior officers said it was possible that the failure of the gang to burn out a car used by them might turn out to be a mistake by the criminals.

But garda sources warned that gangs such as these were “very forensically aware” and would have known about any risks involved in leaving clues behind.
