The least expensive imitation Van Cleef & Arpelsbracelet Really don't skip from zroessgs viesoess's blog
Masked robber hid deadly machine gun at gran's
Ferry warned the driver and his passenger not to tell police about his whereabouts when they dropped him off at Royston Mains Crescent, or he would get his "associates to track them down and harm them".
On Wardieburn Place, Ferry then flagged down another private hire taxi driver, who mistakenly thought he was a booked fare.
Unemployed Ferry who was agitated and constantly making calls on two mobile phones asked him to drive to Straiton. He was dropped off at McDonald's and police officers later recognised Ferry on CCTV footage from the restaurant, leading to his arrest.
Mr Prentice said the first driver was off work for a month as he recovered from the trauma. He added: "This distressing matter has had a profound effect on the staff [at Laing]. Several staff members required counselling."
Of the watches that were stolen 22 Rolexes, two Cartiers and three Panerai timepieces worth more than 233,160 only the three that were dropped were recovered.
The extensive police raid at Chesser Grove, where Ferry lived with his brother and 77 year old grandmother, found half a kilogram of heroin.
Scales with traces of heroin and 3725 in cash were also seized, alongside the semi automatic machine gun,van cleef necklace fake wholesale, replica handgun and ammunition found beneath a coffee table. A bag of heroin was also found hidden under the bed in Ferry's cell after he was detained.
The court was shown footage of a ballistics expert at the Scottish Crime Campus at Gartcosh test firing the MAC 10 submachine gun, which has been used by US and UK special forces. The deadly bullets completely penetrated a ballistic soap, leaving a 28cm deep hole.
Mr Prentice said: "The gun serial number had been erased. It was in good working order. There had been some modifications."
The court heard that Ferry had a string of previous convictions for offences including housebreaking,van cleef clover fake necklace, car theft, crimes of violence, possession of weapons including an axe, assault to injury and drugs.
Ferry admitted committing the armed robbery, assaulting three Laing staff members and abducting and assaulting the taxi driver and passenger between Hanover Street and Royston Mains Crescent on March 2.
He also pleaded guilty to possessing the firearms, ammunition and the Class A drugs at Chesser Grove on March 5. All offences were committed while he had six outstanding bail orders.
Defence counsel Jack
Davidson QC said that while his client recognised that he had committed "very serious charges", he had not caused any physical harm.
Mr Davidson said: "He feels really bad about how the public were affected and asked me to apologise to them via the court."
He stressed that the imitation gun was not loaded, adding: "This was not the most sophisticated execution of a robbery, particularly in terms of the aftermath. The circumstances would suggest that there was no proper getaway strategy."
Lord Glennie told Ferry: "It's clear from the victim impact statement that it's had a lasting effect on the taxi driver."
He added: "It's a high powered, automatic firing gun, clearly deadly if used in anger. There's no excuse for possession. Offences of violence of the kind perpetrated by you cannot be tolerated."
The judge said he would have jailed Ferry for 17 and a half years had it not been for his early guilty plea, reducing the jail time to 13 years.
A relative shouted "love you son" from the public gallery as he was led down to the cells.
It is not clear how Ferry sourced the MAC 10, however, he is understood to have links to organised criminals well known to police. Such firearms can be obtained through sources, including the "dark web", an online network used by criminals to sell guns, drugs and post child pornography.
Detective Chief Inspector Stuart Houston hailed a "good result". He said: "We have got
someone who has put staff and members of the public in a real state of fear and a really terrifying situation.
"I can't underestimate how terrible an experience it's been for the public and the taxi driver, who was just doing his job. Thankfully this ended without any physical injury,van cleef and arpels replica necklace, but I'm sure he's been conscious of it.
"Firearms incidents are not common, but for such a weapon to be in the hands of someone is concerning."
