Securicor to tackle raids with new measures

THE security company at the centre of this week’s tiger kidnapping yesterday announced a new measure to protect staff and combat raids.

Securicor said that staff directly involved in last Monday’s robbery followed company procedures and that criticism to the contrary was mistaken.

Securicor employee Bernard Hogan was kidnapped at his home in west Dublin on Sunday night and driven to Carlow the following morning and told to persuade security van staff to hand over cash to ensure the safety of his wife, Ailish, who was held hostage.
