Winston Irvine to stand trial after police seize guns, ammunition

Belfast Magistrates’ Court heard police identified Mr Irvine in a Volkswagen Tiguan parked in the area in June 2022.

He was observed in conversation with 53-year-old Mr Workman before closing the boot of his car and driving off, a Crown lawyer told the court.

A short time later police detained Mr Irvine at Disraeli Street in the city.

When asked if there was anything in the car he could not account for, Mr Irvine replied “bag in the boot”.

A long-barrelled firearm, two suspected pistols, several magazines, and more than 200 rounds of ammunition were discovered inside a holdall in the boot, the court heard.

Mr Irvine denies knowing anything about the contents of the bag.

Both defendants are charged with possessing a firearm and ammunition in suspicious circumstances, possessing a prohibited firearm, possession of a handgun without a certificate, and having ammunition without a certificate.
