Recovering ice addict Harriet Wran has pleaded guilty to having drugs and stolen goods in her possession.
The daughter of former New South Wales Labor premier Neville Wran was arrested at a service station in Wyong on the NSW Central Coast at 1.30am last week.
In Wyong Local Court on Wednesday morning, Wran, 30, pleaded guilty to three charges including drug possession, having stolen goods including laptops and credit cards and failing to display her P-plates.
She will be sentenced on May 15.
When asked outside court if it’s a tough time, Wran told media ‘yeah it is’ before walking inside to enter the guilty plea.

Wran was stopped by highway patrol officers after she was spotted driving a Holden ute out of a storage facility on the Pacific Highway at West Wyong.
Police said a man in the passenger seat of the ute ran off and officers spoke to Wran before finding a crystal substance believed to be drugs.
Officers also found drug paraphernalia along with mail, laptops and credit cards they suspect were stolen.
Wran was arrested and taken to Wyong police station where she was granted bail.
Her passenger has still not been found.
Wran’s latest drama comes two years after she was released from prison.
She was jailed for two years for her role in a robbery which led to the murder of drug dealer Daniel McNulty in August 2014.

Wran was with her ex-boyfriend Michael Lee and his friend Lloyd Haines when they spontaneously robbed Mr McNulty at his squalid inner-Sydney housing commission flat.
A struggle broke out and 37-year-old Lee stabbed Mr McNulty to death.
Lee was sentenced to at least 13 years for the ‘senseless’ stabbing murder.
Haines, 31, who knew Lee had a knife but did not think he would use it, was jailed for at least 11 years.

She said she thought the men would only rob Mr McNulty, not kill him.
Wran served a two-year minimum jail term for being an accessory after the fact of murder and robbery.
When she was released in 2016, she said: ‘It’s going to be a long process and it’s going to be hard.’
‘I won’t pick up drugs again,’ she said.
‘I never thought in a million years I’d end up in jail, let alone for murder. I’ve never intended for anyone to get hurt in my life; it was almost not real to begin with.’
In November last year photos posted to Wran’s social media accounts showed her riding horses in between working on her mother Jill’s 50-hectare farm.
She has been studying an agribusiness degree at the University of New England while recovering at the $2million Ravensdale property.
Neville Wran was the Premier of New South Wales from 1976 to 1986. He died in April 2014.
He was known for his 1978 campaign slogan Wran’s Our Man.
