Enfield Man Charged After 13 Counterfeit Guns and Eight Prohibited Dogs Found

The case highlights the Met’s push to curb counterfeit guns that police say pose a serious threat.

Overview

  • Metropolitan Police arrested 51-year-old Corey Ledgister after a search at his Farndale Avenue home in Enfield.
  • Officers say they found 13 counterfeit Glock-style handguns, 13 extended magazines, and 640 rounds of ammunition.
  • Police also seized cannabis and removed eight prohibited dogs with injuries consistent with breeding and dog fighting.
  • Ledgister faces 13 counts of possession of a firearm with intent to endanger life, plus charges for ammunition, offensive weapons in public and private places, a Class B drug, and animal cruelty.
  • He remains in custody ahead of a Stratford Magistrates Court appearance, as the Met’s Specialist Crime Command casts the seizure as taking dangerous counterfeit weapons off the streets.
