Identical triplets have been jailed after DNA linked them to a plot to supply an “extremely dangerous criminal” with an Uzi sub-machine gun.<\/p>\n

DNA found on a handgun linked it to either Reiss, Ralston or Ricky Gabriel but it was impossible for police to prove which brother it belonged to.<\/p>\n

However, an investigation revealed all three were involved.<\/p>\n

The 28-year-olds, from Edmonton in north London, were sentenced at Blackfriars Crown Court.<\/p>\n

Ricky and Ralston Gabriel, who are both semi-professional footballers, were found guilty of conspiracy to possess firearms and ammunition with intent to endanger life in July and each jailed for 14 years.<\/p>\n

Reiss Gabriel was found guilty of the same charge and also admitted possession of a firearm with intent to endanger life after being caught with a handgun in July last year, and two counts of possession of Class A drugs with intent to supply.<\/p>\n

He was jailed for 18 years.<\/p>\n

Armed police found an Uzi sub-machine gun with a silencer and ammunition and a loaded pistol on courier Hamza Ahmed, 21, after stopping a taxi in Tottenham, north London, on 10 April 2017.<\/p>\n

The DNA recovered from the pistol was not attributable to just one of the triplets, as they shared almost identical DNA.<\/p>\n

Detectives carried out an extensive investigation to find out which of the brothers was involved in handling the firearms – but mobile phone and surveillance evidence revealed it was all three, the court heard.<\/p>\n

\"Aron<\/span>

The brothers were the final three of eight individuals charged over a plot to supply weapons.<\/p>\n

Prosecutor Kerry Broome said: “An Uzi sub-machine gun is clearly an extraordinarily serious firearm. It is not capable of any lawful use. It has the capability to cause maximum indiscriminate harm.<\/p>\n

“The pistol was loaded. They were both ready for immediate use.”<\/p>\n

The firearms were meant for Aron Thomas, 32, who was caught with another loaded revolver and ammunition when he was held on 26 April 2017.<\/p>\n

At the time, he was on licence, having been released from an 11-year prison sentence for opening fire at random towards a crowded street near Wood Green Tube station in 2010.<\/p>\n

Thomas, from Holloway, was jailed for life with a minimum term of 14 years last year after he was found guilty of two counts of conspiracy to possess a firearm with intent to endanger life.<\/p>\n

\"Ahmed,<\/span>

Ahmed, from Archway, north London, was jailed for 16 years for one count of conspiracy to possess a firearm with intent to endanger life in relation to the first incident.<\/p>\n

Middleman Elyace Hamchaoui, 23, from Arnos Grove, north London, was sentenced to 14 years in prison for the same charge.<\/p>\n

Joshua Miller, 27, of no fixed address, was jailed for 17 years for conspiracy to possess a firearm with intent to endanger life in relation to the second incident.<\/p>\n
