Three days have been set aside to hear depositions evidence against three men charged with a series of alleged bottle-bombings around Christchurch.

Judge Peter Rollo set the hearing for January 28 to 30 at a pre-depositions hearing in Christchurch District Court today.

Three men have been charged with injuring with intent and setting man-traps, over incidents in which police say home-made soft drink bottle bombs exploded in various parts of Christchurch on a Friday afternoon in August.

The men are Raymond Gary Coombs, 26, who travelled from Dunedin for today's appearance, Damien Gary White, 24, unemployed, and Scott James Wreford Kelly, 25, unemployed. No pleas have been entered.
