Last updated 8th Nov 2019
Police probing the kidnapping and torture of a businessman are undertaking co-ordinated search operations on both sides of the Irish border and in England.
Kevin Lunney, a director at Quinn Industrial Holdings, was abducted outside his Co Fermanagh home in September and taken to a horsebox across the border, where he was brutally beaten.
The Garda are searching five locations in County Cavan, three locations in County Longford and four in Dublin. The premises are a mixture of domestic dwellings and commercial/business premises.
The PSNI is searching five locations in Derrylin, Co Fermanagh, and Derbyshire Police are searching a location in England.
PSNI Detective Chief Inspector Julie Mullan said: "This was a truly horrific crime and we continue to work closely with our colleagues in An Garda Siochana and now also Derbyshire Constabulary to try and bring the perpetrators to justice."
