Edward Boyce, aged 42, has been handed an eight-and-a-half-year prison term after being convicted of possession of a prohibited firearm and possession of ammunition, and admitting transferring criminal property. In February last year, police officers recovered a Walther P99 semi-automatic pistol and five rounds of live ammunition from a storage container in Miles Platting, Manchester. They subsequently saw Boyce pass a bag that contained £135,000 cash to a man in a van, while a further £29,000 cash and numerous designer items were recovered from the flat Boyce shared with his girlfriend. On sentencing, the judge said, “There is no question that you, Boyce, had possession of that [gun] for anything other than the purpose of serious organised crime.”
