.
The PSNI's International Policing Unit, working with An Gardaí Síochána and officers from Antrim Local Policing Team, arrested the man at Belfast International Airport yesterday.He appeared before Belfast Extradition Court later on Thursday and was remanded in custody. Sergeant Davey, from the International Policing Unit said: “The subject in this case might have thought that by booking a flight from a different jurisdiction would help him evade or avoid detection.
“Unfortunately for him he failed to factor in the close international collaboration efforts with law enforcement partners to identify and apprehend wanted fugitives wherever they may be hiding out. “This arrest shows our continued determination and commitment to work with international partners to effectively tackle criminality and bring those involved to justice.”For all the latest news, visit the Belfast Live homepage here.
