18-12-08
SDLP
Justice spokesman Alban Maginness MLA has branded those responsible
for the tiger kidnapping of a mother and her two young children
in Lisburn this morning as ‘the lowest of the low.’
The North
Belfast Assembly Member said: “This is a particularly horrific
and cowardly incident which saw a mother and her two children
held against their will in their own home.
“One
cannot imagine the ordeal the victims went through.
“People
who threaten and carry out such acts against innocent and defenceless
children for criminal gain are the lowest of the low.
“My
thoughts and prayers are with this family, who are now understandably
trying to recover from this unsavoury episode and put their lives
back together.
“It
is extremely important that anyone with any information no matter
how small contact the police to assist them in their quest to
bring these criminal gangs to justice.”
