A firearms supplier who kept an arsenal of lethal weapons in his house, including in his daughter’s bedroom, has been jailed for eight years

Darren Dixon, 32, from Kentish Town, London, was arrested in October 2019, following a joint investigation by the National Crime Agency and Metropolitan Police Service.
The haul of 26 firearms in his home included five handguns with loaded magazines, a sawn-off shotgun and a pump action shotgun, which were found in the room where his three-year-old daughter slept.
Explosives, gunpowder and live ammunition, as well as zombie knives, smoke grenades and garrotes, were also seized along with fake police IDs.
NCA investigators working in the National Firearms Targeting Centre (NFTC) – the UK’s firearms intelligence hub based within the agency – identified Dixon through close working with the Spanish Guardia Civil in a project targeting customers buying firearms online.
