An 'angry' man who threatened to blow up a police station has been jailed. On one occasion, Luke Nuttall, 29, said he would walk into Ashton police station in Tameside wearing a 'suicide vest' just hours after leaving court for another matter.
It was one of three calls made to Greater Manchester Police (GMP) staff and officers in which Nuttall, from Stockport, threatened to blow up the station in the space of six months. The first happened on January 5 this year, Manchester Magistrates' Court heard.
He told a GMP call handler he was going to blow up Ashton-under-Lyne police station, telling her: "It's not a joke, I am going to do it." He then put the phone down, Hannah Forsyth, prosecuting said.
