A 32 year old man has been extradited from the Republic of Ireland to Northern Ireland to face charges including sexual assault and threats to kill. The man was arrested in Dublin on 24 August 2026 and returned to Belfast on Friday 30 October. He is due before Laganside Court later today.

The offences are alleged to have occurred in the Belfast area in 2022 and 2023. He is wanted to stand trial for threats to kill, possessing a bladed article, threatening and abusive behaviour, and is also to be sentenced for a sexual assault offence.

In a separate extradition, a 27 year old man was returned from Norway on Thursday 29 October. He was arrested in Aalesund, Norway on 2 June 2026 and is wanted in Northern Ireland for possession of cannabis with intent to supply and cultivation of cannabis. The alleged offences took place in the Holywood area in 2024. He is expected to appear before Newtownards Magistrates Court today.

Sergeant Davey from the Police Service of Northern Ireland's International Policing Unit said the service continues to work closely with law enforcement partners across Europe and will take all measures available to return those who abscond while on bail.
