The man is wanted on warrant for offences of robbery, dangerous driving, receiving stolen goods, possession and supply of drugs, possession of an offensive weapon and assault on police
Officers from the Police Service of Northern Ireland’s International Policing Unit, have arrested a 29-year-old man at London Heathrow Airport.
The man is wanted on warrant for offences of robbery, dangerous driving, receiving stolen goods, possession and supply of drugs, possession of an offensive weapon and assault on police.
These offences occurred in the Derry and Mid Ulster areas in 2016.
The man was granted High Court bail in January 2017 but fled the jurisdiction while on bail.
He has now been returned to Northern Ireland, and will appear before Derry Magistrates Court tomorrow, Thursday 15th August.
Sergeant Davey from the Police Service's International Policing Unit said: “This demonstrates our commitment to work with Law Enforcement partners to track down wanted persons and bring offenders to justice.
“Our message is clear to anyone who has left Northern Ireland to avoid arrest or the consequences of their actions. We will relentlessly pursue those that are trying to delay or deny justice to victims of crime.”
