A man has pleaded guilty to possession of an explosive substance in High Wycombe.

Jack Coleman, aged 19, of Amersham Hill, High Wycombe, pleaded guilty to one count of possession of an explosive substance for unlawful purpose.

Thames Valley Police gained information that Coleman may have explosive substances in a property in Amersham Hill, High Wycombe.

On 14 March this year, the force attended the address along with the Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD), who made the scene safe.

As a precaution, Amersham Hill outside the railway station had to be temporarily closed, and trains were stopped for about half an hour.

Coleman will be sentenced on October 23 at the same court.
