It was reported at the time that having assaulted Mr McWilliams and stolen two sets of car keys and the Kia from the dealership, McComb was arrested when he crashed through a hedge and into a field on the Bluestone Road.
Following the confessions, defence counsel Conor Coulter asked for sentencing to be adjourned to allow the probation service to prepare a report.
Remanding McComb back into custody, Judge Patrick Lynch QC said he would deal with the case on July 22.
