British man facing extradition over firearms and drugs offences

Summary

Adam James Wood, 32, of Liverpool, is in Irish custody awaiting a High Court decision on his extradition to the UK. He faces 12 offences, including possession of firearms, ammunition and class A drugs, and conspiracy to possess firearms with intent to cause fear or unlawful violence. The European Arrest Warrant, issued in 2017, was based on evidence found at his Woodlands Road address and at North Sudely Road in August and September 2014, where police seized firearms, ammunition, heroin and cocaine, and phones containing images of firearms and ammunition. The warrant also cites a dispute with another Liverpool male involving brandishing firearms and criminal damage. UK authorities describe Wood as having a scar on his left hand and a tattoo reading 'Ciara' on his neck. His lawyers have challenged the extradition on several grounds, including a Brexit‑related argument.
