Man Extradited To Poland Over Organised Crime Offences

The PSNI have extradited a man to Poland, where he will serve a prison sentence for convictions relating to being part of an organised crime group and fraud.

The man, aged in his 30s, was arrested by the PSNI in Coleraine in November 2022 on an international arrest warrant and was held in prison here awaiting extradition.

Officers from the PSNI's International Policing Unit worked with officers from Poland Police.

Sergeant Davey from the International Policing Unit said: "This is another example showing our continued determination and commitment to work with International Law Enforcement partners to track down wanted persons and bring offenders to justice.

"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 those that are trying to delay or deny justice to victims of crime."
