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.
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 has been jailed for 40 months.
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. The police officers retreated and set up a 10 metre cordon and the Royal Navy bomb disposal team was contacted. After they were shown images of the items they instructed that a 100 metre exclusion zone should be set up given the potential danger.
Forensic scientists at the laboratory confirmed that they were potentially viable IEDs which could cause injury to people or damage to property. "At the time of his arrest he told police officers the devices would not harm anyone. Notwithstanding the obvious danger, it was never his intention that the devices would be used to cause harm," said Mr Scullion.
