A man was caught with three improvised explosive devices under the driver's seat of his car when police stopped the vehicle in Glasgow's east end
A man who was caught with three improvised explosive devices under the driver's seat of his car when police stopped the vehicle in Glasgow's east end was today jailed for 40 months. James Curran claimed that he had drawn inspiration from a character in an apocalyptic novel when he made the IEDs using fireworks, nails and ball bearings.
Curran earlier admitted breaching the 1883 Explosives Substances Act between November 2020 and August 2021 by making or knowingly having possession of the three IEDs. The court heard that on August 24 in 2021 police officers, acting on intelligence, were on the lookout for Curran's Vauxhall Zafira when they spotted it and stopped it in Loretto Street, Glasgow.
