New Cross soldier convicted over gun and drug trafficking

Duran Wright
A NEW Cross soldier is among five men convicted of trafficking firearms and drugs.
Duran Wright, aged 28, of Jerningham Road, was convicted of conspiracy to import firearms and conspiracy to import cocaine at Woolwich Crown Court yesterday (January 21).
He was arrested last March while serving in Germany and charged three months later on his return to the UK.
The charges came after a stash of guns, ammunition and drugs were found inside a car being driven from Calais by two accomplices.
Officers found a total of five handguns and 500 grams of cocaine stashed inside an Army issue boot.
Detective Inspector Chris Jones from Trident Gang Crime Command, North-East Team said: "It has led to the removal of five lethal firearms and ammunition, weapons which would inevitably have been used to commit acts of serious violence on the streets of London."
The men, including two other serving soldiers and one ex-soldier, will be sentenced at Woolwich Crown Court on January 25.

It just goes on year after year and you cant do or say anything to prevent anyone having their say or having their views!!!
You are an idiot of the highest order; and you now realise that your pathetic attempts at hassling people from having their views is just not working; nor likely too!!!
Now stop being the spoilt little child who can`t have everthing his own way and put the tiny brain into gear for once and realise just because you do not agree with someone with various views to you; that does not may YOU right!!!
LOL
