Liverpool, UK – A 44-year-old man, Ross Smith, originally from North Wales and with no fixed address, has been sentenced to more than 14 years in prison for firearms-related offences. The charges stemmed from a discovery made by officers who executed a warrant at a property on Netherby Street in Toxteth, Liverpool, in September of the previous year.
During the warrant execution, law enforcement discovered a cache of dangerous weapons, including a Skorpion sub-machine gun with five fully loaded magazines, a hand grenade, ammunition, and various rounds of loose ammunition.
Ross Smith faced charges of possession of an explosive substance for an unlawful purpose, possession of a prohibited weapon, and possession of ammunition for a firearm without a certificate.
