The blast caused significant structural damage
A drug user blew up his flat and put his neighbours in danger during a botched attempt to make a powerful illegal substance. Sean Page, 36, was attempting to produce an enhanced form of cannabis oil by cooking the drug in liquid butane.
Neighbouring residents were evacuated after the explosion at a block of flats in Chatsworth Drive, Hucknall, which blew out windows and caused significant structural damage. It is believed that the blast occurred when one of the three men present in the flat lit a cigarette – igniting highly flammable gasses that had gathered in the small flat.
The incident took place on July 15, 2021. Page, of Curtis Street, Hucknall, later admitted to producing a Class B drug, telling police they were for personal use to help alleviate several medical problems.Appearing at Nottingham Crown Court on Friday he was jailed for a total of two years and nine months after being convicted of criminal damage by recklessly endangering life and production of a Class B drug.
“The windows in his property were sent flying during the blast and it was merely good fortune that no one was passing by at the time. Such was the force of the blast that significant structural damage was also caused to the building which necessitated very costly repairs. “I hope this incident serves as a warning to others about the potential consequences of producing illegal drugs at home.”
