Moynul Haque (21), a Smethwick man who bought Glock handgun parts from the dark net, was jailed for 10 months at Wolverhampton Crown Court following a joint investigation by the National Crime Agency and the US Department of Homeland Security.
Haque ordered the gun from a dark net vendor based in the US, Michigan, which was supposed to contain an antique radio, however, officers at US customs examined the parcel and found a pistol slide, barrel and recoil spring for a Glock 9mm handgun inside. As the package arrived to the Birmingham border investigation team, they alerted the NCA who executed a warrant at Haque's home.
At the house of the 21-year-old, authorities seized electronic devices, such as the man's laptop and a small package containing amphetamine.
NCA agents, with the assistance of the West Midlands Police Cyber Crime Unit, found out that Haque bought the handgun for £900, and had attempted to check the status of the parcel online.
Haque pleaded guilty to the importation of firearms and possession of class B drugs and was sentenced to 10 months in prison at Wolverhampton Crown Court. Dawn Cartwright, head of the NCA's Birmingham border investigation team, made this statement:
"This investigation relied on the cooperation of our law enforcement partners here in the UK and in the United States. Together we have successfully prevented a potentially lethal weapon making it onto the streets of the West Midlands."

this guy orders a glock and doesn't clean his house, doesn't even use tails and checks the tracking from his own wifi. it's like he wanted to get caught.
nice, they really should take the month off after such a huge seizure.
