HELSINKI, July 29 (Reuters) - Finnish police released an 18-year-old man they had arrested with a stash of items for making bombs, after finding that he wanted to amuse himself with small explosives and had no plan to hurt others, Finnish News Agency STT reported on Friday.

Police had ended the investigation, it reported.
