The bullets are believed to be 9mm ammunition for handguns which are popular on the criminal market. The MoD said: “We can confirm that two soldiers have been arrested on suspicion of firearms offences. He was discharged from the Army after he was traced to 97 rounds of 9mm parabellum ammo taken from the British military. Detectives traced the bullets back to Pusey who was serving as a lance corporal with 1st The Queen’s Dragoon Guards, a cavalry regiment of the British Army. Pusey, of Norfolk, was arrested in April 2017 and denied handling, stealing, passing on or having any knowledge of the bullets.
