Driver caught by camera he tried to blow up

Quote:
Craig Moore thought he had outsmarted the speed camera which photographed him as he rushed through Greater Manchester. He went home, put together an explosive device with a substance normally used to weld railway lines, returned to the scene, and blew it up. Evidence destroyed. Fine avoided.
What the 28-year-old railway worker from Doncaster did not realise was that images of his van speeding through Mottram Road, Hyde, were stored on a disk in the base of the camera and survived unscathed. But, worse still, the blast triggered the camera mechanism to take a second picture of his van and its registration number. Now, instead of a speeding fine, he faces 10 years in jail.
