'They're in the f****** house. We're f***** here': Woman urged partner to flog guns in an Aldi carpark to fund a luxurious lifestyle
A couple sold a gun to a gangster with a history of violence in a supermarket car park to fund 'cosmetic dental work', a court has heard. It was not the only gun Fiona Crooks and Vincent Horsfall were found to have after police raided her home.
The firearm was found in the glove compartment wrapped in kitchen roll alongside nearly £25,000 cash in a plastic bag. The gun was found to be in working order and was successfully test fired, with Horsfall's DNA being discovered on it. At Crooks' home a loaded revolver was discovered in a Berghaus man bag beside a child-sized Wellington boot. Bullets were found in each chamber of the gun, which had both Horsfall's and Crooks' DNA on it.
Horsfall previously worked "for many years" on the railways but lost his job. Simon Gledhill, defending, told the court that his client had been using "legitimate websites trading in lawful, antique firearms" and that he has a "long-standing interest in collecting antique weapons". Crooks, who has no previous convictions, worked as a nursery nurse practitioner for nearly a decade. Paul Becker, appearing on her behalf, said: "There is clearly a significant difference in their roles.
