Guns and explosives found hidden in homes during operation targeting group, court told
Guns and explosives were found in homes hidden behind plasterboard and inside a school bag during an operation targeting the East Belfast UVF, a court heard today.
Officers from the PSNI’s Paramilitary Crime Task Force recovered eight handguns and three pipe bombs from houses and business premises in the lower Newtownards Road area. An investigating detective said the haul was stored behind plasterboard in a void between the living room and kitchen area. William Baker also claimed that his brother knew nothing about the haul. A lawyer representing Robin Baker described his client as a vulnerable and isolated individual with limited reading and writing skills.
During the hearing it was revealed that Pounder formerly served as a rifleman with a regiment based in Yorkshire. Bambrick faces a further charge of possessing articles for use in terrorism in connection with a hoax explosive device and balaclavas allegedly located at his home.
