A MAN has been charged in connection with last week’s tiger kidnapping in Dublin in which more than €300,000 was withdrawn by a bank employee whose partner had been kidnapped.

Tony Quinn, 29, from Ballymun, north Dublin, is accused of handling stolen cash, amounting to €318,000, taken from a Permanent TSB branch.

He was arrested last Tuesday at Cabra, in the north inner city, by gardaí investigating a tiger kidnapping that morning.
