A man has been jailed for 150 days after equipment used for his pirate radio station in Kent was found on top of a water tower, leading to a terrorism scare.
Dozens of residents had to be evacuated from the area around Bluebell Hill in Chatham while a controlled explosion was carried out on July 4 last year.

ReplyDeleteaccording to the press report -
"He also went to the scene and told officers it was not necessary to blow it up, but was arrested and taken into custody for questioning.
He was bailed pending further enquires and the matter was passed to Ofcom who took over the investigation from Kent Police."
