Robber who held family hostage 'trapped by DNA'

A man who held a woman’s family hostage until she took £20,000 (€28,806) from a Boots store in Co Tyrone was trapped by a crucial DNA profile, police revealed tonight.

Dermot Roulston, 36, falsely imprisoned Brenda McHugh’s husband Patrick and daughter Leanne until she handed over the money from the chemist shop where she worked on Main Street, Strabane.
