Two men have been slammed behind bars for over a decade after a swift police crackdown on gun crimes in Rotherham.
Chase Ends in Arrest After Maltby Shooting
Joshua Stevens, 36, and Luke Rushforth, 24, tried to shake off the cops after a 999 call reported gunfire at a Maltby address on 11 May 2025. But their attempts to escape were in vain.
Police, backed by a helicopter, tracked their every move and nabbed the duo in the early hours of 12 May.
Evidence Stacks Up – Clothes, Guns, and Shells
Officers found discarded clothing matching CCTV footage – a balaclava and black jumper – near the scene of the shooting.
Rushforth received five years for three counts of firearm possession and two ammunition charges.
