(ITV) Three members of an organised crime gang have been sentenced for their part in selling a firearm to a terrorist, following an investigation by the south-east’s Counter Terrorism Policing unit.
All three pleaded guilty to conspiracy to transfer a prohibited firearm and received a total of more than 36 years behind bars.
They had tried to sell the weapon and ammunition to Edward Little.
On 19 May 2023, Little pleaded guilty to planning a terrorist attack at Hyde Park in London.
He was arrested on 23 September last year on his way to collect the firearm for his planned attack. He is due to be sentenced at the Old Bailey next month.
