A Bulgarian national has been arrested in Northern Ireland as part of an investigation into an alleged murder conspiracy in London. The suspect was detained in County Antrim by the Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI), working alongside the Metropolitan Police.
The arrest follows a joint operation between UK law enforcement agencies, though specific details of the alleged plot remain undisclosed. Authorities have confirmed the individual is currently in custody while inquiries continue.
Cross-border police cooperation
This case highlights the close working relationship between police forces across the UK. A PSNI spokesperson stated: "We can confirm an arrest has been made in connection with a Metropolitan Police investigation."
The Metropolitan Police have described the operation as part of an "ongoing investigation" but have not released further information at this stage.
Legal proceedings underway
The suspect is expected to face extradition proceedings to be transferred to London for questioning. Legal experts suggest the case demonstrates the effectiveness of UK-wide policing networks in tackling serious organised crime.
This arrest comes amid heightened security concerns across Europe, though police have not indicated any connection to broader terrorism threats.
