Tiger-kidnap target GSLS says best possible training procedures in place

The company targeted in yesterday's tiger kidnapping in Dublin has said it is assisting gardaí in the on-going investigation.

A mother and daughter were held hostage in a van after a gang of three entered their home in Artane.

The father, a cash-in-transit worker, was forced to deliver at least €200,000 to the gang.

GSLS said its primary concern at this time is for the well-being of the employee and his family.

In a statement, the company said it implemented best-in-class procedures and training for its cash-in-transit operations; and has signed up to and abides by the Private Security Authority's code of practice for cash-in-transit firms.

No one has yet been arrested in connection with the incident.
