Seven years for former truck driver acting as gang 'store man'

A debt-ridden truck driver who ended up storing a shotgun and cocaine valued at over a €250,000 for several months after taking a loan from a criminal gang has been given a seven-year sentence.

Peter Rochford (aged 34) had begged his cousin to take the items for one night but "came clean" when he heard his cousin had been arrested after gardaí swooped on his home that night and found the drugs and firearms.
