Gardaí: Too early to link Dublin abduction with tiger kidnapping

Gardaí have said it's too early to say whether last night's botched abduction in north Dublin is linked to two other so-called “tiger kidnappings” in the area in recent days.

However, it has been confirmed that a family who was held hostage at their home on Glasnevin Avenue overnight was targeted because the mother is a keyholder for a post office at Ballygall East in Finglas.
