A man "obsessed" with Covid-19 has been found guilty of sparking a bomb scare at a vaccine factory. Anthony Collins, 54, was convicted of dispatching an article by post with the intention of inducing the belief it is likely to explode or ignite, following a trial in court.
Collins, from Kent, sent the package to a factory in Wrexham in January 2021, causing the production of the Oxford/AstraZeneca jab at the premises to cease and 120 people to be evacuated, Maidstone Crown Court heard.
The package had contained a calculator, a garden glove, four batteries, a “yellow biohazard bar”, a service wipe and a quantity of paper, North Wales Live reports.
