Man admits to placing explosives underneath former boss's car after begin fired

DELRAN TWP., N.J. (WPVI) -- A Bucks County, Pennsylvania, man has admitted to planting an explosive device underneath his former supervisor's car in New Jersey.

The U.S. attorney's office says Michael Takacs placed the device outside the home of his former boss in Delran Township, Burlington County, last July after being fired in April.

The blast sent nails and bolts into nearby homes, but no one was hurt.

He pleaded guilty on Tuesday and now faces up to 10 years in prison.

Sentencing is scheduled for October.
