Gardaí probe abduction of mother from Longford home

A man was being questioned last night by gardaí investigating the abduction of a woman from her home where she had been with her four children.

The woman, aged in her twenties, was forcibly taken from the property at Edgeworthstown, Co Longford, at around 4pm on Saturday.

There is some speculation that some children from the area were present along with her four children during the incident, although gardaí could not confirm that last night.
