Woman Extradited From RoI To NI Over 2016 Theft Offence
A woman has been extradited from the Republic of Ireland to Northern Ireland for a 2016 theft offence.
Yesterday, 17 July, the 38-year-old woman was extradited after being found guilty and sentenced for theft in 2016. The suspect appealed and was released on court bail, before skipping bail and failed to appear before Belfast Crown Court in May 2016. The offence took place in a Belfast shop, where the woman stole a purse from a woman in her 80s. She was arrested in the Republic of Ireland in May 2024 and has now been successfully extradited to Northern Ireland. The woman was due to appear before Antrim Magistrates Court yesterday.
Following the extradition, Sergeant Davey from the International Policing Unit said Sergeant Davey, from the Police Service's International Policing Unit, said: "Todays extraditions are further example of the Police Service of Northern Ireland working closely with An Garda Síochána to track down wanted persons and bring offenders to justice.
"We will continue to work with our law enforcement partners to bring before the courts those who seek to evade justice. The Police Service of Northern Ireland will relentlessly pursue anyone trying to delay or deny justice to victims of crime."
