Gardaí foil tiger kidnapping attempt

GARDAÍ managed to thwart a tiger kidnapping after they were alerted to suspicious activity at a north Dublin post office.

And in Kilkenny, gardaí are hunting a gang that used a stolen JCB to rip down part of a post office and remove a safe. However, when they opened the safe they found nothing inside.

The couple subjected to the abduction were reunited yesterday after their kidnappers aborted their robbery of Balbriggan post office.
