Woman 'Traumatised' After Co. Laois Hijacking
Gardaí have launched an appeal following the hijacking at gunpoint of a car in County Laois last night.
The victim was a woman in her early thirties. Gardaí said she was uninjured, but has been left traumatised.
The incident began as the woman was sitting in a car outside a shop in Ballylinan at about 21:10, when the gunman approached.
The man threatened her with a shotgun before forcing her from the vehicle.
The car was then found burnt out some time later at Kildangan near Monasterevin in County Kildare.
Gardaí have appealed to anyone who witnessed anything suspicious in either location to contact Portlaoise Garda Station on 057 8674100, the Garda Confidential Line on 1800 666 111 or any garda station.
