Man remanded in custody on terrorist offences

A man has been remanded in custody at Larne Magistrates Court on terrorism charges.

Darren Leslie Richardson, 30, of Moneynick Road in Randalstown has been accused of membership of a paramilitary organisation, the UVF, as well as possession of documents likely to be of use to terrorists.

The accused, a manager of Wrightbus in Ballymena, allegedly had bullets at the factory where he worked between an unknown date and Wednesday when he was arrested.

Mr Richardson, who is ordered to appear in court again on 3 May, has denied the charges.
