A gun dealer was nailed by cops after he posted YouTube videos of himself posing with deadly weapons he made in his bedroom.
Selling cheap firearms
Jordan Geoghegan, 23, took selfies holding a machine gun and boasted in text messages of buying cheap firearms from America.
He also sent a chilling text message to a friend saying he needed to fix his shotgun so he could ‘smoke’ an unnamed victim.
Police bodycam footage shows the moment he was arrested at his family home in Erdington, Birmingham.
And video filmed by Geoghegan himself shows him brandishing multiple weapons, pointing the gun at the camera in some clips.
West Midlands Police said he used the videos to boast to buyers about his access to guns.
The arrest
One gun was found to be a live weapon, but it’s unknown if all were real or if some were imitations.
The bodycam footage shows police banging on his door telling Geoghegan to open it before they detain him.
