Last month, a 33-year-old Chigwell man was charged with attempted murder after being extradited to Tasmania from Victoria.

He was arrested in Werribee, in Melbourne’s west, on May 20 by Victoria Police’s Fugitive Squad and Special Operations Group at the request of Tasmania Police.

Glenorchy detectives extradited him to Tasmania and he appeared in the Hobart Magistrates Court on May 22.

Police are urging anyone with further information who has not already contacted them to call Glenorchy CIB on 131 444 and quote offence report 802048.
