An Oldham man has admitted burning a car causing £3,000 of damage.

Reza Shan pleaded guilty to the offence during a recent appearance at Manchester and Salford Magistrates’ Court.

The incident took place earlier this month in Oldham.

He also admitted making threats of violence towards two people in Oldham on the same date.

Following his guilty pleas the case against the 31-year-old was deemed too serious to be dealt with in that court.

It was sent to Manchester Minshull Street Crown Court, where Shan will be sentenced next month.

He was bailed on the condition that he remains at his home on Brewerton Road in Oldham between 8pm and 8am.
