DRUG DEALER LEAVES RUSSIAN SEMI-AUTOMATIC GUN ON BACK SEAT OF DEWSBURY TAXI
A drug dealer who got into a taxi in Dewsbury was caught when he left a bag containing a gun and ammunition on the back seat. The manager of the Leeds taxi firm was shocked to discover the Russian semi- automatic pistol when the bag was handed in as lost property. According to the Dewsbury Reporter, Leeds Crown Court heard Louis Dhers and two other men got into the taxi on Russell Street, Dewsbury, and were driven to Burley Road, Leeds, on

The weapon had been modified and the barrel replaced with a rifle barrel. West
