EncroChat handle LeadFern was utilised in attempt to seek out shotgun to 'give someone a leggy'

Michael Riccio allegedly sought to source guns over EncroChat as he plotted a "retribution" shooting.

This included "needing a shotgun to give someone a leggy". The prosecution counsel said of this: "In other words, to shoot them in the leg." The court was also read a message sent from Lead Fern to "Elephant Water" on May 12, which said: “I’m trying to get three shottys if can help. Going leg three people. Only got Glock. Waste them in legging someone."

Another contact "VanDeBeek" meanwhile asked whether he had "any tools going". Lead Fern said in response that he "needed shottys himself" but would "have Glocks again soon".
