Man charged over 'tiger' robbery

A man was charged in court this morning in connection with a so-called tiger robbery in Dublin last week where more than €300,000 was withdrawn by a bank employee whose partner had been kidnapped.

The 22-year-old woman was forced to take the money from the Permanent TSB branch in Phibsboro last Tuesday after being sent a photograph via her mobile phone of her partner with a gun to his head.
