A dad stored a terrifying haul of weapons including an MP5 machine gun on behalf of the criminal underworld. Christopher Winder, 43, kept four deadly firearms, including a Glock pistol and a revolver in a secret location for a drugs boss.
The boss, named in court as EncroChat user 'Wanted Soldier', also oversaw a huge cocaine conspiracy worth at least £1.3 million. His alleged 'right hand man' Reece Bradbury, 28, acted as a gofer for Wanted Soldier, delivering drugs and cash.
Bradbury was linked to at least 15 kilos of cocaine, and also dealt four kilos of cannabis on his own. Winder and Bradbury, both from Salford, have both been locked up following the law enforcement hack of the EncroChat network, a highly secretive communication network used by organised crime.
