Robber posed as taxi driver to take post worker to work

GARDAÍ are investigating a new form of tiger kidnapping in which a robber posed as a taxi driver when collecting a post mistress.

The raider collected Deirdre Higgins outside her home in Beaumont, north Dublin, yesterday and brought her to her post office in the Omni Park Shopping Centre in Santry.

Detectives believe that the raiders had carried out surveillance on the movements of Ms Higgins.
