Jamie Waylett, who played bully Vincent Crabbe in the Harry Potter movies, was arrested on charges including possession of a bomb he allegedly intended to use in the London riots.

He’s been charged under the Criminal Damage Act for reportedly arming himself with a homemade “petrol bomb” while looting a north London store on August 8.

Authorities have been combing through tens of thousands of hours of security footage to identify rioters suspected of violence and property damage from this past summer’s civil unrest.

Waylett was arrested on September 20 and released from custody after an initial court appearance.

He’s slated to have a committal hearing on November 10.

Police also reportedly found 15 marijuana plants in Waylett’s residence. He was arrested in 2009 for illegal production of cannabis, for which he was given 120 hours of community service.

Waylett appeared as Crabbe in the first six Potter films.
