Darren Service (42) has been in custody for 17 months on charges of preparation of terrorist acts
On March 25th, 2022, a workman was threatened and forced to transport a device placed in the back of his vehicle by two masked men to a peace-building event on the Crumlin Road.
It is the Crown’s case that the two masked men who hijacked the van were driven to the scene and dropped off by Mr Service. A prosecutor told Judge Mark Reel the bail application was opposed.The prosecutor said that when Service’s home was searched in the aftermath of the incident, officers seized £100,000 located in a safe as well as balaclavas, a replica firearm, UVF pins and luxury watches.
Calling the 17 months Mr Service has now spend in custody as “disproportionate” and “excessive”, defence barrister Joseph O’Keefe said that after the incident his client attended with police voluntarily and was “not sought out”.
