A man has admitted having explosives hidden in Kinder Egg chocolates in his home, which led to a road being evacuated in Bristol.

Appearing before Bristol Crown Court via video link from prison, he admitted four charges including having an explosive substance, relating to 14 homemade explosive devices.

He is due to be sentenced on 27 March.
