Garda hailed a hero after foiling tiger raid

THE hunt was continuing last night for a gang of four who terrorised two families in Roscommon in the country’s latest tiger raid.

A garda in the small town of Cloonfad was hailed a hero after he confronted the gang early yesterday morning as they waited for a time lock to open at 9am.

Garda Gerry McDonagh suffered minor injuries after being hit by a shovel on the side of the head but the gang fled the scene without getting any money.
