Gardaí are continuing to question two people in relation to a a tiger kidnapping in west Dublin last October.
The man, aged in his early 40s, and woman, aged in her mid 30s, were arrested yesterday in Crumlin by gardaí investigating the abduction of a female bank official and her family in Lucan.
They are being held at Lucan and Ronanstown Garda stations under Section 50 of the Criminal Justice Act 2006.
A 19-year-old boy arrested at the same time was released without charge last night.
Gardaí also seized a car as part of the investigation.
The investigation relates to an incident in the early hours of October 23rd when an armed gang forced their way into a Bank of Ireland employee’s house in Johnsbridge estate, taking her family hostage.
The woman’s two children, aged three and six, were tied up by the gang and bundled into a car along with their father.
While her family was held hostage, the woman was forced to retrieve an undisclosed quantity of money from the Inchicore branch of the bank where she worked.
Her husband and the children were later taken to the back of a garage in Rathangan, Co Kildare, where they managed to set themselves free and raise the alarm.
