Gardaí are renewing their appeal for information following a tiger kidnapping in Dublin.
A family of three are said to be traumatised following the 13-hour long ordeal which ended yesterday morning in Meath.
Officers in Coolock would like to hear from anyone who may have noticed a silver Volkswagon Caddy van with an 09 D registration number at Gracefield Road, Artane and Chesnut Grove, Dunboyne - or between those areas - in the lead up to Wednesday's night's attack.
Gardaí have released two photographs to assist the public in recognising any activity involving both vehicles on the second and third of December 2015 or at any time in the lead up to Wednesday night's kidnapping and the subsequent theft.
