Three people to be extradited to New South Wales

Three people are in custody after ACT Policing executed warrants for their arrest in Yarralumla today.

A 26-year-old Yarralumla man, a 43-year-old O’Malley woman and a 20-year-old man of no fixed address were arrested after an investigation into a hit-and-run incident at Nimmitabel (NSW) on Monday, 30 August 2021, in which a NSW Police Officer was injured.

The New South Wales Police Force made a formal request for assistance from ACT Policing Criminal Investigations after investigations revealed that the alleged offenders were in the ACT.

The trio will appear in the ACT Magistrates Court today (Thursday, 21 October 2021) where Detectives from NSW Police Force will seek their extradition.
