A 36-year-old Symonston man is set to appear in the ACT Magistrates Court today, 24 June, following his extradition from NSW on family violence charges.
Police allege that on the morning of Sunday, 16 June 2024, the man caused a disturbance involving his ex-partner at a residence in Calwell. During this incident, he is also alleged to have damaged property at the residence.
Further allegations state that after leaving the residence, the man sent his ex-partner a threatening text message later that afternoon.
Subsequent enquiries by police attached to Operation Pemberton indicated the man was in Karabar, NSW.
He was located and arrested by NSW Police around 4:30pm on Friday, 21 June, and appeared before Queanbeyan Local Court on Saturday, 22 June, where his extradition to the ACT was granted.
He will face court today charged with burglary, aggravated destroy/damage property, use carriage service to menace/harass, and warrant offences.
