Gardaí investigating kidnap of 62-year-old woman

Gardaí in Dublin are investigating the kidnapping of a 62-year-old woman outside her home yesterday evening.

The woman was abducted on a city street by a number of men in balaclavas at around 6pm and bundled into a white van.

Gardaí say the vehicle had been stolen from the Glasnevin Industrial Estate last month.

The woman managed to free herself early this morning before alerting gardaí in Dun Laoghaire to the situation.

Gardaí are appealing for anyone with information about the case to contact detectives in Whitehall.
