Armourer's Meth Lab and Gun Conversion Bust

Dudley Brennan, an armourer from Kendal, has been incarcerated for over 22 years after converting firearms and establishing a crystal methamphetamine laboratory. Brennan worked alongside Peter Weston, a Liverpool-based crime group coordinator who was sentenced to nearly 27 years. Both men pleaded guilty to conspiring to sell prohibited weapons and Class A drugs.

Brennan's illegal activities involved converting at least two submachine guns and multiple pistols, operating under the guise of his motorcycle repair business in the Lake District. The National Crime Agency (NCA) discovered a firearms conversion factory and a crystal meth lab at his premises. Weston facilitated these sales by connecting other offenders with Brennan and was instrumental in coordinating the group's operations.
