Moment dad-and-son gun runners caught by their OWN CCTV digging up weapons to be used on Manchester's streets
This is the moment father and son gun runners dig up a powerful rifle they had buried in the back garden of their home - a deadly weapon destined for Manchester. And their own CCTV footage was used by police and prosecutors against them to convict them in court.
Dramatic video footage of the moment the Ford Focus car was stopped by police in an armed strike in Cheetham Hill has also been released. "Earlier that same day, the Watkins' own CCTV showed Mark and Richard digging up the rifle from waste ground at the back of their garden in Merrick Avenue, Preston, and the weapon being put in the Ford Focus which had driven up from Manchester to collect it," said Lancashire Police.
Mark Watkins pleaded guilty to conspiracy to possess and supply a firearm with intent to endanger life. He was jailed for five years and two months. Lewis admitted conspiracy to possess and supply a firearm and possess and supply ammunition with intent to endanger life. He was jailed for five years. "Like elsewhere in the country, serious and organised crime presents a very real threat across our communities, and we do a great deal of work to tackle the problem. Every week we arrest an average of 17 people for organised crime and each month we seize over £55,000 of cash along with significant quantities of drugs.
