A taxi-driver who was abducted by a group of armed men before a robbery in Armagh has said he believes the Continuity IRA might have been responsible. Mr Tommy Moir picked up a man at the Mullacreevie housing estate on Saturday and was told to drive to a house on the Stormyhill Road.

Armed men held him in a derelict house for just under an hour while his car was used in the robbery of credit union staff depositing cash at a bank.
