Molotov cocktail failed to explode in house

When he tossed the molotov cocktail through a lounge window, it landed on a nylon sports bag and did not break or explode.
The occupants were able to pick it up and throw it into the driveway.
The 18-year-olds getaway did not go so well either. He drove into the back of a parked car in Marshland Road.
Hore pleaded guilty in the Christchurch District Court to arson, unlawfully taking a car, driving with excess breath-alcohol and careless driving.
Because of his age and his formerly clean record, the unemployed Kaiapoi teenager has been granted bail for his remand to a Crown sentencing session on February 22.
Judge Philip Moran called for a pre-sentence report, including options for home detention.
%26quot;There are sorts of imprisonment that dont necessarily involve a clanging door,%26quot; he said.
On July 12, Hores girlfriend told him their relationship was over.
The next night, Hore went to a Christchurch hotel, where the girlfriend and her aunt were drinking, and they argued. At 2.30am, the women went to the girlfriends aunts house in Oaklands.
Hore made three molotov cocktails using beer and wine bottles.
He then took his fathers $5000 vehicle and drove to the house, where he put on a balaclava and approached the house with the firebomb.
He lit it and threw it through the window, but it landed on a sports bag and did not shatter. The occupants threw it out the door, where it ignited on the driveway.
About 5.30am, Hore veered towards the kerb along Marshland Road and drove into a parked car, which was pushed into another parked car and a power pole.
Hore went to his mothers house and she took him to the police.
He was found to have 400mcg of alcohol to a litre of breath, well above the limit for an 18-year-old.
