A 33-year old man has admitted recording details of police vehicles parked within Lurgan PSNI station on his mobile phone.
Samuel McCaughey was due to stand trial at Belfast Crown Court on two terrorism charges which he initially denied.
After he entered the dock on Monday, his barrister Aaron Thompson asked that his client be re-arraigned on the two charges levelled at him.
From Kilwilkie Road in Lurgan, McCaughey was charged that on May 27 2020 he recorded information likely to be useful to a person committing or preparing an act of terrorism, namely details of vehicles situated at Lurgan PSNI Station.
When asked how he pleaded, McCaughey replied “guilty”.
He was further charged that on the same date, he published information about two people “who are, or have been, members of his majesty’s forces” - namely vehicle details of two individuals who are members of the PSNI - which was likely to be useful to a terrorist.
The Co Armagh man also admitted this charge.
McCaughey’s barrister said both charges related to recordings which his client made on his mobile phone in the sanger area of Lurgan police station in an incident which was captured on CCTV.
Mr Thompson added that he was seeking a pre-sentence report.
A Crown prosecutor told Judge Philip Gilpin that it was her intention to play the CCTV footage in court during the plea hearing.
Judge Gilpin set the date for that hearing as November 8 and told McCaughey to “engage” with probation who will be compiling the pre-sentence report.
After no objections were raised by the Crown, McCaughey was released on continuing bail.
