Second man extradited from Poland to Northern Ireland in relation to cultivation of cannabis

The 40 year-old who skipped bail and failed to appear before local courts is due before Derry Magistrates Court tomorrow

A second male has been extradited from Poland to Northern Ireland this week in relation to cultivation of cannabis.

A 40 year-old-man was extradited from Poland to Northern Ireland, on Thursday, April 11, where he is wanted to stand trial in relation to a number of offences of cultivation of cannabis.

The offences occurred in the Maghera and Coleraine areas in October 2019.  The suspect skipped bail and failed to appear before Coleraine and Magherafelt Magistrates Court in March and April 2021

The male was initially arrested in Poland on March 7 this year, and extradition proceedings are now complete with his successful return to Northern Ireland on Thursday.

He is due to appear before Derry Magistrates Court on Friday, April 12.

Sergeant Davey, from the Police Service’s International Policing Unit, said: “This demonstrates our continued and effective working with our international partners to track down wanted persons and bring offenders to justice.

“If you abscond while on bail then PSNI will take all steps possible to locate you and have you brought before the courts here in NI.”
