Gardaí have arrested a man in his 20s in connection with an alleged incident of false imprisonment of a woman in a vehicle in Co Kerry on Sunday.

They are also asking road users with camera footage, including dash cam footage, who were in the area between Listowel town centre and the R552 Clieveragh Road between 2am and 4am on Sunday to make it available to officers.
