Tiger Raid on Dundalk Supermarket
One of latest sytle 'Tiger Raid' robberies was carried out at Dundalk's Superquinn store on Saturday night Sunday Morning.
So named because it is known that the robbers stalk their quarry for some time in advance of their raid, and for the Dundalk store manager his ordeal began just after he had locked the premises on Saturday night and began walking the short distancce to his car.
He was approached by a slow moving vehicle, abducted and held captive until just before opening hours on Sunday morning, when he was brought back to the store when the time lock on the safe would allow it to be opened for the days business. Two female employees who arrived for work at the same time were also held and all were released when the robbers obtained a substantial amount of cash.
A partially burnt out car was later found near Dromintee in South Armagh, and early speculation suggested that dissident paramilitaries may have been responsible for the kidanpping and raid.
