The Amsterdam court sentenced the Brit Ian Q. (49) to 3.5 years in prison. In October, officers found him with 14 firearms and a pound of heroin in an expensive apartment in Amsterdam.

The police had received an anonymous tip about the presence of drugs in the apartment at the Jan van Zutphenstraat in Amsterdam-Osdorp. An arrest team had entered.

The Liverpool man denied that the weapons were his.

The Public Prosecutor also claimed 3.5 years in prison because the man would be involved in the professional trade in weapons.
