3 men arrested in tiger raid probe

THREE men have been arrested by detectives investigating an attempted tiger kidnapping nine months ago.

A security worker, his pregnant wife and their two-year-old son were targeted at their home near Athy, Co Kildare, last April. The planned abduction was foiled when a panic alarm was set off in the house.

A Garda spokesman said three men were arrested in Dublin yesterday morning under new anti-gangland legislation.
