Man Arrested In NI On Irish Extradition Warrant

Officers from the Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) today, Tuesday, June 3rd, arrested a 71-year-old man who was wanted in the Republic of Ireland.

The man is sought to stand trial for drug possession and supply offences that occurred in Dublin in 2021.

The individual was detained on an Irish extradition warrant after being produced from prison and is scheduled to appear before Laganside Extradition Court later today.

Sergeant Davey, from the PSNI's International Policing Unit, commented on the arrest: "Today's arrest is another example of the Police Service working closely with An Garda Síochána to locate fugitives and bring them before the Extradition Courts. Our message is clear; Northern Ireland is not a safe haven for any wanted persons trying to avoid arrest and the consequences of their previous actions. We will relentlessly pursue all those attempting to evade justice."
