Republicans warned about UVF list
More than 100 republicans have been warned about their safety after police seized documents linked to the UVF which contained names, addresses and car registrations.
Darren Richardson, 30, of Moneynick Road, Randalstown, County Antrim appeared today at Belfast Crown Court charged with UVF membership.
He is also charged with possessing documents that could be useful to terrorists and having 30 rounds of ammunition.
The court heard five hand-written documents containing 104 vehicle registration numbers and names and addresses of 51 people were found at the premises at Wright Bus, where Mr Richardson was a manager.
Ammunition was also found at his desk, and the documents were found elsewhere in his office.
Other documents found in his car contained 13 registrations numbers and personal details.
A defence lawyer said the defendant denied membership of the UVF and had never been involved in acts of violence.
Mr Richardson has been refused bail.
