A 65-year-old firearms dealer from Norfolk has been jailed for six years over part of the stash following the discovery of 463 illegal firearms (including explosives, machine guns and a missile launcher).

The weapons were found in a secret room in a property owned by parish council chairman James Arnold who was arrested in connection with the find but died of cancer aged 49 while awaiting trial.

Anthony Buckland from Stoke Holy Cross was convicted of supplying a firearm which was part of the large haul in Wyverstone, Suffolk.

Norwich Crown Court heard that Buckland sold some of the prohibited guns and was convicted of multiple firearms offences.
