Paul Edmunds
Paul Edmunds is a gangland arms dealer from Hardwicke, Gloucestershire, England.[1]
Gun conspiracy
The conspiracy run by Edmunds can be traced back to 2008, when he met a physiotherapist called Mohinder Surdhar at a legal gun fair.[2] Edmunds began supplying guns and ammo to Surdhar, who transferred them on to gangster Sundish Nazran.[3] This brought them into control of Birmingham's Burger Bar Gang, who kept some and sold more on.[2]
The conspiracy stretched from 2009 to 2015,[1] when Edmunds was arrested and police discovered three illegal armouries used by him.[4] A total of 280 guns were illegally imported from the United States, and when he was jailed in December 2017 207 of them remained in criminal circulation.[2]
