Kevin Dennett, a 54-year-old resident of Runcorn, Cheshire, is facing serious legal consequences after installing a novelty doorbell designed to resemble a US-issue Claymore mine. The device, which features black and red wires and the phrase 'Front Toward Enemy,' was reported by neighbors who felt anxious and fearful about its presence. Dennett pleaded guilty to making a bomb hoax at Warrington Magistrates Court, where he was warned he could face up to seven years in prison if the case is escalated to a crown court. The incident occurred on March 12, when a caretaker spotted the device and alerted the police. Officers determined the device was fake, but Dennett's refusal to cooperate led to his arrest. His defense attorney described the situation as a misguided attempt to deter a bully who had harassed him for years. Dennett has a history of physical and psychological vulnerabilities, having suffered a serious injury in an accident years prior. The local council has expressed support for him, acknowledging the context of his actions. Dennett remains on bail and will be sentenced next month.
