Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 29 Oct, 16:35 · Archive
Two Glasgow men have been convicted after five firearms and ammunition were discovered hidden in bushes in May 2026.
Reece Brown, 25, and Daniel Curran, 22, pleaded guilty at the High Court in Glasgow on 28 October. Five converted pistols, ammunition and homemade silencers were discovered on Tynecastle Street in Glasgow's east end on 5 May 2026.
The Glasgow Times reports that two children spotted Brown, wearing high-visibility clothing, exiting a car and hiding a bag in nearby bushes before running off. The children alerted a passing police vehicle. Officers found a brown box inside the bag containing five Turkish-made firearms that had been converted from blanks to fire live rounds, along with sound suppressors and 35 cartridges and bullets. CCTV footage showed a man matching Brown's description near the scene around the same time.
Following the discovery, police carried out extensive enquiries and executed a number of warrants across Glasgow on 15 May. Forensic evidence linked both men to the weapons. Detective Sergeant Clarke said the recovery showed officers' determination to bring those involved in serious criminality to justice, and thanked the public for their support throughout the investigation.
