A "particularly dangerous criminal" from Fulham has been locked up for nearly 10 years after he was arrested in possession weapons, a large sum of cash and Class A drugs.
Daniel Moncur was pulled over in his black Peugeot on West Drive in Streatham Park in Wandsworth and police officers searched his vehicle on June 16.
They found a black holdall in the 32-year-old's car containing a Bersa handgun, a silencer, a lock knife 49 rounds of ammunition, £3,000 in cash, MDMA, cocaine and cannabis.
'Particularly dangerous criminal'
Detective Sergeant Damian Hill, from the London Crime Squad, said: “I am pleased with the sentence of Moncur as this sends out a strong message to anyone considering carrying a firearm in London that you will face a lengthy time behind bars if you do this.
“Thanks to the excellent work of the officers in my team, and with the assistance from our colleagues from the Force Firearms Unit, we have been able to safely recover this gun and ammunition and prevent it from being used in further crimes.
“The fact that Moncur was also found in possession of a silencer and 49 rounds of ammunition means that a particularly dangerous criminal has now been taken off the streets.”
Cash has been seized
Moncur, of Wandon Road, was jailed for nine years and six months at Kingston Crown Court on Thursday (December 22) and was also ordered to forfeit the seized cash.
The drugs, gun and ammunition will be destroyed.
After his arrest, Moncur was taken to Kingston Police station where he was interviewed by detectives, but gave no comment.
He was charged the next day with possession of a firearm with intent to endanger life, possession of class A drugs with intent to supply, acquisition of criminal property, possession of an offensive weapon and possession of cannabis.
He pleaded guilty to all offences.
Moncur was arrested by officers from the London Crime Squad with armed officers from the Metropolitan Police Force Firearms Unit SCO19 as part of a proactive operation.
