An online gun dealer who stashed 26 firearms and 102 rounds of ammunition in his three-year-old daughter's bedroom has been jailed for eight years. Officers also found fake Metropolitan Police and Interpol warrant card IDs, a counterfeit search warrant, Met body armour, a rejected application to join the force, and plans showing the address of a fine art dealer and a valuable painting. He smuggled blank-shooting pistols into the country and converted them into deadly firearms using a toolkit. 'This investigation removed these lethal firearms from circulation, along with the risk that they could end up in the hands of organised criminals.' Officers also found plans containing the address of a fine art dealer along with details of a valuable painting, the court heard.
