Dark Web stories: Gurtej Randhawa, 19, from Wightwick, West Midlands, England, probably didn't behave very smartly. In May he found himself surrounded by police after possessing an alleged improvised explosive device he ordered from the Dark Web. Police say he was arrested while trying to get his hands on the bomb.
Officers from the UK's National Crime Agency (NCA) said they switched the package with an electrical device and handed it to address which Randhawa had given. 
Randhawa pleaded guilty to the charge of importing explosives but refused to admit that the explosives were intended to cause death or serious injury. But the court (Birmingham Crown Court) found him guilty of all charges last Tuesday.
“The explosive device that Randhawa tried to buy online had the potential to cause serious damage and kill many people, if he used it", said Tim Gregory of the NCA.
"He is not involved in organized crime and is not linked to terrorism, but he is clearly an individual who poses a significant risk to the community. The arrest of men like Randhawa - seeking her access on illegal firearms and weapons in general – is a priority for the NCA and we will stop at nothing to ensure they are caught and held to account for their actions.”
To mention that no one knows how the police tracked down Randhawa, but it does not seem to have been that difficult.
Η detection of its activity could have started directly from the Dark Web, or it is more likely that the bomb was detected by the postal system and exchanged by security for a fake device.
However, it could be a proof that the police can break into encrypted anonymous networks, such as Tor, which are the foundation of the Dark Web.
