Ricardo Cain, 27, and Delano Brissett, 40, both of no fixed address, were sentenced at Reading Crown Court on 9 October after being found guilty of multiple offences the previous day. Both men were found guilty by unanimous jury of three counts of possessing a firearm with intent to endanger life and one count each of possessing a prohibited firearm and possession of criminal property.
The convictions followed a Thames Valley Police investigation that began on 16 March 2026 when officers discovered firearms, drugs and cash at a property in Reading.

Detective Constable Chloe Palmer, the investigating officer, said: 'This verdict is the result of a detailed investigation into serious organised criminality involving the supply of Class A drugs across Hampshire and the Thames Valley.'
