A man has been convicted of blowing up an ultra-low emission zone (Ulez) camera in south-east London.
Kevin Rees, 63, was arrested by counter-terror police after what has been described as a low-sophistication improvised explosive device (IED) damaged the camera in Willersley Avenue, Sidcup, in December 2023.
Rees used a homemade bomb, a metal cylinder filled with explosive powder, to cause the explosion, which also damaged cars and property up to 100m (328ft) away, including a child’s bedroom.
He denied one count of causing an explosion likely to endanger life or cause serious injury to property and three counts of possessing prohibited weapons. He will be sentenced at a later date.
