Investigations into tiger kidnapping continue

Investigations are continuing into a tiger kidnapping in Dublin which has left a family of three traumatised.

Gardaí are urging members of the public with information on two vehicles which were involved in the 13 hour long ordeal to come forward.

The tiger kidnapping began in Artane in Dublin on Wednesday night and ended on Thursday in Dunboyne.

The raiders made off with approximately 200,000 euro in cash after forcing a cash in transit worker to hand over the money while his partner and daughter were held in a van.

Gardaí in Coolock have thanked members of the public for their help so far in the investigation - however they are now appealing for anyone who may have seen the two vehicles involved.

They would like to hear from anyone who may have noticed a silver Volkswagen Caddy van with an 09 D registration number at Gracefield Road, Artane and Chesnut Grove, Dunboyne.

While they are also appealing for information on a white box type Ford Transit van which was parked in the vicinity of Corballis Road Business Park, Dublin Airport between 7 and 8.30 yesterday morning.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Coolock Garda Station on 01- 6664200.
