Second Arrest Made Over 'Tiger' Robbery
A second man has been arrested in connection with a 'tiger' style robbery in Dublin last week.
The man in his 20s was arrested in west Dublin, and is currently being detained at Mountjoy garda station under the Offences Against The State Act.
The man is being held as part of the ongoing investigation into the theft of more than €300,000 in a bank robbery. The robbery also involved the taking hostage of a bank employee's partner.
The money was taken from the Permanent TSB branch in Phibsboro, north Dublin, on September 22nd by a 22-year-old female bank worker who was sent a picture on her mobile phone while at work showing her boyfriend being held at gunpoint.
She was told her partner (26) would be released unharmed if she dropped a bag of money from the bank on railway tracks at Broombridge Station in Cabra, Dublin, just before noon.
The money was recovered at Broombridge railway station in Dublin later that day.
One man has already been charged in connection with the incident.
Tony Quinn (29), with an address at Park View, Balbutcher Lane, Ballymun, was charged with handling €318,000 in cash at Broombridge on September 22nd, contrary to section 17 of the Theft and Fraud Offences Act.
