Couple's kidnap ordeal

A couple are recovering following their kidnapping ordeal in County Londonderry.

Three men wearing hats and scarves broke into their Shantallow home in Derry at 2200 GMT on Thursday.

The husband was driven off in his own van, whilst his wife was ordered to go a furniture store at Crescent Link, Londonderry.

She was told to take money from a safe and take it to the village of Muff, County Donegal.

There, she was forced to hand over the cash to a man who approached her.

After the money was handed over, her husband was released about a mile from Bridgend.

Police said the couple were shaken by what had happened, but were uninjured.
