Bradford men jailed for firearms offences

    Two men from Bradford have been jailed for nearly 14 years after they were convicted of firearms offences.  

    Paul Nriapia and Joseph McCrory were sentenced at Bradford Crown Court yesterday, 12 June, in relation to the seizure of a loaded revolver, which was recovered from a Ford Focus on Barden Avenue in Bradford last December.  

    Nriapia, 58 and from Beacon Place, was jailed for seven years and three months after he was found guilty of conspiracy to possess a firearm without a certificate and conspiracy of possession of ammunition without a certificate. 

    Thirty-six year old McCrory, of Forber Grove, was sentenced to six years and four months in relation to the same matters.
