Two men convicted after dumping firearms and ammunition on Glasgow street

Two men have been convicted after they discarded firearms and ammunition on a Springboig street in Glasgow.

Reece Brown, 25 and Daniel Curran, 22, pleaded guilty at the High Court in Glasgow on Wednesday, 28 October.

Officers descended on Tynecastle Street in the north of the city at around 8.55pm on Tuesday, 5 May, after they were made aware of a bag having been discarded. It was discovered that it contained firearms and ammunition.

Following the discovery, extensive enquiries were carried out and a number of warrants were executed in the city on Friday, 15 May, 2026.

Both were arrested and charged.

Detective Sergeant Clarke said: "To discard firearms shows absolutely no regard for the safety of the local community.

"Thankfully they were recovered by officers before they could cause serious injury to someone – or worse.

"Violence and the carrying of firearms is completely unacceptable.

"I believe these convictions sends a message to those involved in serious criminality that we remain determined to bring you to justice.

"This was a significant recovery and we worked closely with a range of partners to secure these convictions.

"I would also like to thank the public for their support throughout the investigation."
