A Lincolnshire plumber who fitted a flamethrower on to the back of his moped has been arrested for an alleged firearms offence. James Bond fan Colin Furze, 30, said he came up with the idea because he was sick of drivers cutting him up on the road. But Lincolnshire Police spotted media pictures of Mr Furze allegedly riding his scooter on a public highway - and arrested him. He was held on suspicion of possessing an object converted into a firearm, and was released on unconditional police bail without charge, pending further police investigation. Mr Furze, from Stamford, declined to comment, reports the Daily Telegraph. Speaking before his arrest, he said: "Everybody wants a flame thrower on a motor bike. "I don't need a flame thrower on the back of my bike, I'm not going to set fire to people's car's, it's just something interesting to do." The scooter, which was built before Christmas, was Mr Furze's third attempt at the project after the first did not ignite and the second burst into flames. A Lincolnshire Police spokesman said: "A man was arrested on suspicion of possessing an object converted to a firearm. He was released on unconditional bail."
