Another man was also extradited to Lithuania by police, a 41-year-old who is due to serve a prison sentence of two years and eight months in connection with fraud offences that took place in 2016 and 2017. He had been arrested in Armagh in November 2024.
Sergeant Davey, from the Police Service’s International Policing Unit, said: “The Police Service continues to work closely with our partners to locate, arrest and extradite those wanted in other jurisdictions.
“Our message is clear that Northern Ireland is not a safe haven for anyone trying to avoid arrest or the consequences of their actions. We will relentlessly pursue anyone trying to delay or deny justice to victims of crime.”
