Brothers in arms hook a gun each

-

THREE brothers have each landed a gun from rivers and canals while magnet fishing.

Leo Nixon, four, Riley, five, and Reece, 14, from Leeds, joined their father and a cousin in their hobby.

Reece needed the help of his father, William, 49, to retrieve a First World War Vickers machine gun from a canal in Rotherham.

Cousin Craig Parkinson, 28, said: “We have since been told the machine gun has been given to a museum.”

In January Riley fished out a German handgun at a canal in Lincoln and Leo found a BB gun in Burnley canal on Sunday.
