The Manchester Crown Square Court concluded a high-profile case this week, sentencing the last of five defendants involved in a firearms incident that occurred in Cheadle, Stockport in 2021. The investigation centred around a shop where shots were fired, leading to subsequent charges related to conspiracy to possess firearms.
Jacob Richards received a significant sentence: eight years’ imprisonment, along with an extended four-year license. The court found him guilty of firearms offences, arson with intent, and a section 47 assault. The presiding judge labelled Richards as “dangerous.”
