| A 27-year-old man has today, Monday 27 October 2008, admitted a number of firearms offences after officers from GMP's Xcalibre Organised Crime Unit recovered five guns when they stopped a car in Wigan. Fation Peqici (born 24/03/81), of Walsh Lane, Bury, pleaded guilty to possessing firearms and ammunition with intent to endanger life, possession of a prohibited weapon without a firearm certificate and possession of ammunition without a firearm certificate at Liverpool Crown Court. He is due to be sentenced at a later date. Christopher Payne (15/05/1967), of Walsh Lane, Bury, is currently standing trial at Liverpool Crown Court charged with the same offences. Both men were arrested after officers carried out a search of a Renault Laguna at the junction of Market Street and Atherton Road shortly after 7.30pm on Thursday 5 June 2008. Subsequent searches were also carried out at an address in Bury and Cheetham Hill. |
