- RECORD REPORTER

A GARAGE owner caught dealing in drugs and firearms has been jailed for six years.

Kristopher Kinnaird, 42, who told criminal associates he liked to stay “off the radar”, was involved in trafficking at least £660,000 of cocaine and cannabis and being a middleman in sourcing weapons including a submachine gun.

He communicated on the EncroChat phone network used by villains.

In one encrypted message, he said: “I just plod away - stay off the radar. Dont need to try and make a million quid or try to be gangster. I have a nice house, a MOT station, motors, some dough.”
