WI A Croatian truck driver caught at Dover with a haul of submachine guns hidden in a load of frozen pizza has been cleared by Maidstone Crown Court.
Orzen Pucarin was stopped by Customs in November and 30 Uzi guns, 29 silencers and 475 rounds of ammunition wore discovered in his HGV, which was bound far North Yorkshire.
Pucarin said he had no idea that the guns were there and denied three counts of possessing firearms, silencers and ammunition. The jury at Maidstone took less than two hours to decide that they believed him last week (24 July). Pucarin, who needed an interpreter during the court case, has now returned to Croatia.
