A man wanted in relation to a number of sexual offences in the Republic of Ireland has been arrested by police in Dungannon.
The 70-year-old man is wanted to stand trial for offences including rape, sexual assault and false imprisonment, which occurred in Galway in 2022.
The man was detained on an Irish extradition warrant in the Dungannon area on Thursday by officers from the PSNI’s Local Policing Team and is expected to appear before Laganside Extradition Court tomorrow, (Friday).
Sergeant Davey from the International Policing Unit said: “Today’s arrest is another example of the Police Service working closely with An Garda Siochana to locate fugitives and bring them before the Extradition Courts.
“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.”
