"A delivery driver from a Chinese restaurant was threatened by two males after arriving in the Summerhill Park area. A bomb was put in the back of his car."
"The driver was told he had 30 minutes to get to Dunmurry police station before the bomb would go off. Upon arrival, he raised the alarm."
"Evidence included a £10 top-up purchased for the same number that rang the Chinese restaurant, followed by a £20 top-up linked to Smyth's Monzo account."
"CCTV footage showed a male wearing a green hoodie with 'Brazil' written on it, identified as Smyth by two police officers."
A delivery car exploded outside Dunmurry police station after a driver was threatened and forced to transport a bomb. Kieran Smyth, 66, faces multiple charges, including attempted murder and possession of explosives. The driver was instructed to reach the police station within 30 minutes. Evidence presented in court included a £10 top-up purchased for a phone linked to Smyth, along with CCTV footage identifying him. Smyth's legal representation argued for the dismissal of most charges, citing a case of overcharging.
