Police have extradited a 30-year-old man from Northern Ireland to the Republic of Ireland.

He was arrested in the east Belfast area last week.

He is wanted to stand trial there for offences including robbery, possession of stolen property, and possession of a controlled drug with intent to supply.

The offences took place in Dublin in 2021 and 2022.

Sergeant Davey from the Police Service’s International Policing Unit said: “We continue to work closely with An Garda Siochana to locate and arrest persons sought for extradition.

“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 those who are trying to delay or deny justice to victims of crime.”
