A man has been jailed in Birmingham for attempting to smuggle firearms in a car from Pakistan, the UK's federal crime agency said the other day.
"A man who tried to smuggle 72 firearms parts in a car shipped from Pakistan to the United Kingdom has today been jailed for eight years," a statement by the National Crime Agency (NCA) said.
The 40-year-old, named Yasir Khan, pleaded guilty after the agency found that "he was behind the bid to smuggle 36 top slides and 36 barrels for 9mm Glock self-loading pistols in a 1976 Datsun Sunny". NCA's statement detailed how the gun parts were "expertly" hidden inside the vehicle.
