Tadas Bijanskas, of Navan Court, Armagh, is accused of possessing cannabis, conspiring to possess cannabis and supplying the drug, as well as possessing a firearm and an incapacitant spray, in a case that remains at an early point in the court process.
A 34-year-old man has appeared before the courts in connection with a series of alleged drugs, weapons and criminal property offences.
Tadas Bijanskas, of Navan Court, Armagh, faces multiple charges relating to the alleged possession and supply of cannabis, as well as allegations concerning criminal property and prohibited items.
The case was before Armagh Magistrates' Court, where the charges were formally put to the defendant.
Bijanskas is accused of possessing cannabis, conspiring to possess cannabis and supplying the drug. He is also charged with possessing a firearm and an incapacitant spray.
In addition, he faces allegations of possessing and transferring criminal property, said to represent the proceeds of crime.
The offences are alleged to have occurred on various dates between March 1 and September 29, 2025.
During the court hearing, a detective constable aware of the facts of the case outlined the allegations and told the court that the charges could be connected. No further details regarding the circumstances surrounding the alleged offending were disclosed during the brief proceedings.
At this stage, the case remains at an early point in the court process and the allegations have not been tested before a court. No evidence was heard in relation to the charges, and no findings have been made regarding the accusations.
Armagh Magistrates' Court routinely deals with a wide range of criminal matters before decisions are taken on how cases will proceed, including whether they will be resolved at magistrates' court level or progress through further stages of the criminal justice system.
Deputy District Judge Austin Kennedy remanded Bijanskas on continuing bail.
The case was adjourned and is due to return before Armagh Magistrates' Court on December 1 for further consideration.
The charges remain allegations at this stage, and Bijanskas is entitled to the presumption of innocence unless and until the offences are proved before the court.
