A couple were jailed after police found a gun in his storage container - they then found illicit designer goods in their flat. On February 17 last year, officers attended Manchester Storage, in Miles Platting, and searched a container belonging to Edward Boyce, 42.
Inside the container was a working Walther P99 semi-automatic pistol as well as five rounds of live ammunition, Minshull Street Crown Court heard. Following their enquiries, the officers went to Canalside Apartments, in Stalybridge, where Boyce shared a flat with girlfriend Lyndsey Remmett, 31.
There they saw a man leave the building and get into the driver’s seat of a Ford Transit van before driving to a nearby car park. Boyce then came out of the same building and put a large bag through the open van passenger window.
