“I am pleased with today’s sentence which reflects the seriousness of Miller’s crimes,” said Detective Inspector Jim Casey from the Met’s Specialist Crime Command. “These firearms were live and capable of inflicting serious harm. I have no doubt they would have been used to commit crime on London streets. Our goal is to protect our communities and we will keep going after those involved in firearms and serious crime.”
