Four men questioned about a £300,000-plus sterling robbery of a bank in Strabane have been released without charge, police in Northern Ireland said today.

They were detained by officers also investigating the unlawful imprisonment and kidnapping of a bank official's family before he was ordered to hand over the money last month.

It is believed the raid on July 9th was linked to the INLA. Three of the men were arrested yesterday in Strabane and one in the neighbouring village of Sion Mills.
