This is the moment father and son gun runners dig up a powerful rifle they had buried in the back garden of their home - a deadly weapon destined for Manchester. And their own CCTV footage was used by police and prosecutors against them to convict them in court.
Mark Watkins, 55, and his son Richard, 29, had installed a CCTV system to monitor their garden - where police said they 'kept a criminal arsenal'.
The huge HOWA bolt action .308 rifle, complete with a telescopic sight, silencer and 39 rounds of ammunition, was collected from their Preston home by three men from Manchester - who police said took along a three-year-old child 'to make it look as though it were a family day out instead of the transfer of a deadly weapon'.
