A man aged in his 30s has been arrested in Dublin this morning in connection with a so-called "tiger kidnapping" which occurred last June.
The man was arrested in Dublin early this morning by gardaí investigating the false imprisonment and abduction of a bank official from his home in Deerpark in Tallaght on June 6th 2010.
During the incident, a bank clerk was forced to take €200,000 from the Crumlin Cross branch of AIB after his friend was taken hostage from their home.
A three-man gang broke into the pair's house in Deerpark, in Kiltipper at 1.30am.
The official was ordered to take the money from an AIB branch, while the second man was taken away from the house by the kidnappers, two of whom were armed.
The bank employee went to the AIB at Crumlin Cross as instructed and then on to a specified location near the Red Cow where he handed over an undisclosed amount of cash, believed to be at least €200,000.
Approximately €30,000 in cash believed to have come from the robbery has been recovered by gardaí so far.
The man arrested this morning was due to appear in court at 10.30am. He is the second person to be charged in relation to the incident.
