Man charged with damaging speed camera van in Co Tyrone
A 40-year-old man has appeared in court in connection with damage caused to a speed camera van on the outskirts of Coagh in Co Tyrone last month.
The accused faced three charges arising out of the alleged incident at Ballinderry Bridge Road on June 22 when he appeared at Dungannon Magistrates Court on Friday.
William Stewart McGucken, of Ballinderry Bridge Road, Coagh, is charged with damaging the van belonging to the PSNI, common assault, and possessing an offensive weapon in a public place, namely a brick.
McGucken indicated that he understood the nature of the charges against him.
A police officer said he believed he could connect the accused to the charges.
A Public Prosecution Service lawyer said they required some time and asked for an adjournment.
Deputy District Judge Peter Prenter said he would take the matter for two weeks, July 31, “hopefully for a decision” in the matter.
Mr Prenter told McGucken to stay in touch with his legal representatives.
