National Crime Agency operation swung into operation after pistol intercepted
A North Antrim man who was “preyed upon” by his neighbour to import a pistol from America walked free from court on Thursday with a suspended jail sentence.
Prosecuting counsel Michael Chambers outlined how Border Force officers at Stanstead Airport seized a parcel which claimed to have “Computing Gaming Parts, Computer Fans, and Motherboard” inside. Mr Chambers said shortly after the parcel was delivered to Hannah’s home on 13 October, a covert listening device recorded a conversation with Scott to arrange collection and for Scott to “bring with him controlled drugs…presumably as payment”.
Reacting to the sentencing, the National Crime Agency issued a statement on Thursday saying they had worked with Homeland Security Investigations in the US to identify the shipper of the weapon as a 34-year-old from Oregon.
