A Bristol man has been slapped with multiple firearms charges linked to the purchase of nearly 40 handguns and a homemade 3D-printed weapon.

Luke Fortune, 22, Nabbed With Huge Cache

Luke Fortune, aged 22, from Longwell Green, was arrested in July 2024 by the National Crime Agency (NCA). He had acquired 35 top-venting blank firearms, three antique guns, and over 1,000 bullets. Police also uncovered that he had crafted a 3D-printed submachine gun.

Then, in January, Avon & Somerset Police found two handguns—a Glock-style pistol and a revolver—hidden in a bush near his home. Fortune was arrested again.
