Dawn Raid Nabs 3 in Firearms Probe

0:00Police just busted a house in Burstall, Leicestershire, arresting three folks on suspicion of firearms offenses during a dawn raid. This all connects to a shooting back on January 9, near Coventry's eastern bypass, where shots rang out, but luckily no one got hurt. The raid went down early Monday, March 30, with West Midlands Police teaming up with Leicestershire officers. They hit a property on Greengate Lane and nabbed a 63-year-old man, a 32-year-old man, and a 37-year-old woman, four, allegedly possessing a firearm. That Coventry incident happened on Sisk and Drive, and cops later found a dark Volkswagen Torreg, wrecked up on the M69 Northbound, rear window, and boots smashed from the gunfire. While searching the house, officers stumbled on a cannabis grow operation, too. Leicestershire police arrested a 33-year-old man and a 34-year-old woman for cultivation right there on the spot. All five are out on bail with strict conditions as the investigation rolls on, piecing together links from that January shooting to this latest bust.
