The man who orchestrated the burglary of a huge cache of weapons from a Dunedin pistol club member has been jailed for nearly four and a-half years. The Dunedin District Court yesterday heard how the defendant contacted members of the Hells Angels and Bandidos gangs after the burglary. Once Trotter had the firearms, he used his contacts in the criminal underworld to find buyers. Latimer had a pistol with him and officers later discovered the other weapons at the house where they had been stashed. As well as serving a prison term of four years five months, Trotter was also ordered to pay $20,417 in reparation.
