Man held in connection with tiger kidnapping

A man has been arrested in Limerick in connection with an abduction which took place earlier this week.

Yesterday’s arrest was described by gardaí as a significant breakthrough in an investigation into a suspected tiger kidnapping.

On Sunday night, a gang abducted Stephen Cusack, aged 19, the son of the Garryowen sub-postmistress Carol Cusack, along with his friend at a house in the Castletroy area.
