A MAN who set off a home-made explosive in Bolton town centre will be sentenced later this month.

Stephen Davies took gunpowder from fireworks to make the crude device which injured a passer-by on St George's Street, in March this year.

The 46-year-old, of Breightmet Drive, Breightmet, has pleaded guilty to possessing explosives.

Sentencing was adjourned at Manchester Crown Court yesterday until Monday December 16.
