Part 2: Flame-thrower scooter owner arrested




Remember Colin Furze, the plumber who adapted his scooter to shoot 15ft flames from the rear? We just reported on this a couple days ago and it appears that he might have drawn too much attention to himself. Lincolnshire Police spotted the pictures of Mr. Furze allegedly riding his scooter on a public highway – and arrested him on Thursday. Congratulations Nanny state for keeping up that nickname!




Quote from the article:

He was held on suspicion of possessing an object converted into a firearm, and was released on unconditional police bail without charge until May 6 pending further police investigation.

Possession of a firearm carries a maximum prison sentence of five to seven years at Crown Court.

Mr Furze, from Stamford, Lincolnshire, declined to comment.

Speaking before his arrest, he said: ''Everybody wants a flame thrower on a motor bike.
