Arnas Laugalis, Jonathan Gomez, Ameer Al-Sekafi and Matthew Noori

Four men have been jailed for a combined total of more than 43 years for various firearms and drug offences after a raid near Ealing.

Arnas Laugalis met Jonathan Gomez in Borehamwoo­d in August 2016 and handed him a black plastic bag containing a gun, ammunition and a silencer.

Laugalis had been spotted by police early that day getting into a car driven by Ameer Al-Sekafi with 25-year-old Matthew Noori leaving a few minutes later carrying the black plastic bag.

Gomez was later found guilty of conspiracy to possess a firearm with intent to endanger life and was sentenced to 12 years in prison.

Laugalis pleaded guilty to the same charge and a further charge of possession with intent to supply Class A drugs and was given a five-year sentence.

A few months after the gun exchange, officers carried out a firearms raid at a property in Perivale and found a large package containing a handgun, silencer and ammunition.

While officers conducted the search, Noori arrived at the address and spoke to a police officer but refused to give his name.

He pleaded guilty to two counts of conspiracy to possess a firearm with intent to endanger life and was sentenced to 13-and-a-half years imprisonme­nt.

Police also found the DNA of Ameer Al-Sekafi on the seized firearm. A raid of his Melliss Avenue address found quantities of cocaine and cannabis, as well as £10,500 in cash.

William Busher

A taxi driver who sexually assaulted vulnerable, mentally handicappe­d passengers in his car over a four-year period has been jailed for five years.

William Busher, of Long Lane Hillingdon, assaulted three women with learning disabiliti­es while working as a driver for vulnerable adults between February 2012 and June 2016 in the Henley-on-Thames area.

He admitted seven counts of sexual activity with a person with a mental disorder impeding choice, and two counts of inciting sexual activity with a person with a mental disorder impeding choice.

Busher was sentenced to five years and four months in prison and was place on the Sex Offenders’ Register, as well as a restrainin­g order to prevent him approachin­g any of his vulnerable victims.

Uxbridge man Stephen Deville was jailed for raping a young girl in Slough.

Lawrence Santos

“Unhinged” Lawrence Santos was jailed for 14 months after killing his girlfriend’s cat in an “explosion of cruel violence” before waking her up and also assaulting her.

Santos, 24, woke his partner at midnight complainin­g the cat had become unresponsi­ve after he tried to bathe it, a court heard.

Their cat Mimi, however, was bleeding from a head wound and a veterinary pathologis­t later found “signs the cat had suffered numerous serious injuries” as well as there being “signs of the cat having been submerged in water”.

The five-month-old kitten had been “brutally and persistent­ly assaulted” and it appeared “an attempt had been made to drown it”, the prosecutio­n said.

Santos was handed a 10-month prison sentence for two counts of assault by beating on his partner and a further four months for a criminal damage charge related to killing the cat.
