Police have busted a secret 'gun factory' which was the go-to for Birmingham arms dealers.

Neil McFarlane, from Leeds, had established the factory in his shed so he could make weapons for gangs.

McFarlane, 53, and his girlfriend Anne Marie Moran, who lived at the same address, were arrested in December 2019.

West Yorkshire Police executed a warrant at the couple's home address as part of a wider operation with Northumbria Police, reports LeedsLive.
