Gardaí are hunting two tiger kidnappers who subjected three women to a traumatic ordeal early yesterday.

A third member of the gang, a known drug addict, was captured when their getaway car crashed following a Garda pursuit. Shots were fired by elite detectives at the scene.

The three men, armed and masked, entered the home of a postmistress in Seabury, Malahide, north Dublin, at around 1am.
