3 convicted for ‘tiger kidnapping’ robbery

THREE men have been convicted of carrying out a €2.28 million “tiger kidnapping” robbery four years ago.

The three were found guilty following a 66-day trial at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court by a jury which also failed to agree on verdicts in the cases of two other men.

The three convicted men, who have been remanded in custody by Judge Tony Hunt for sentence later, are: Christopher Corcoran, aged 61, of Bayside Boulevard North, Sutton; Mark Farrelly, aged 37, of Moatview Court, Priorswood; and Jason Kavanagh, aged 34, of Parslickstown Court, Ladyswell.
