Did you think that being a known criminal would be enough to stop you being issued with a Firearms Certificate? Think again after reading this …<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Christopher Cotcher – known as Cotch – A well known Pimp in Worthing, living at that time in Ivydoor Avenue, up near the A27 – also running flats as a brothels in Emerald Quay, Shoreham; Brighton Marina and Bognor, in conjunction with John Arnold Reynolds. Cotch kept a loaded shotgun under the sofa in his lounge. His toddler daughter also played in that room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, in spite of his criminal record he was allowed to renew his Firearms Licence through a corrupt police officer – PC Francis from Lewes. He was also receiving classified police intelligence from DC Clinton Novelle of Brighton – which they sold into the criminal underworld.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cotcher was also pimping out his own wife – in a caravan parked in the garden – and it was well known that her services were available to corrupt officers as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When we raided his house one of these officers was in the lounge, pleasuring himself – in front of the young daughter. Obviously a situation which was seen as “normal” in this perverted household.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Apparently this criminal “had to have the gun” as he had been threatened by another over “turf wars”. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Yes, I am sure you can see the logics to that as well as I could!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n I took the shotgun — which had been stolen from Sandringham and belonged to Prince Charles — and handed it in to Surrey County’s Police at Guildford. This was on the advice of Customs & Excise, who said that Sussex Police were too corrupt. I just hope this gun never got back to this particular criminal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
