Two Men Extradited From Northern Ireland
Two men were extradited from Northern Ireland today, Tuesday 21st January.
A 31-year-old man was extradited to the Republic of Ireland, where he is wanted to stand trial for dangerous driving causing death. This offence relates to a road traffic collision in County Donegal in April 2017 that resulted in the deaths of two people. He is also sought to stand trial for possession of a controlled drug for the purposes of sale and supply, an offence that occurred in the Donegal area in July 2020. The man was arrested in Northern Ireland on 15th September 2022 and completed the extradition process today. In a separate case, a 41-year-old man was extradited to Lithuania to serve a prison sentence of two years and eight months. This sentence relates to a number of fraud offences that occurred in Lithuania between 2016 and 2017. The man was arrested in the Armagh area in November 2024 and was extradited to Lithuania today.
Sergeant Davey, from the Police Service’s International Policing Unit, said: "The Police Service continues to work closely with our partners to locate, arrest and extradite those wanted in other jurisdictions.
"Our message is clear that Northern Ireland is not a safe haven for anyone trying to avoid arrest or the consequences of their actions. We will relentlessly pursue anyone trying to delay or deny justice to victims of crime."
