A WOMAN involved in smuggling 16 prohibited firearms into the UK has been remanded in custody.
Molly Standen, 29, appeared before Chelmsford Crown Court on Monday to admit one count of importing weapons with intent to evade a prohibition.
The offence took place in Parkeston last month.
Sam Trefgarne, prosecuting, said more evidence of the offending could still come to light while a police investigation continues.
He said: “The investigation into this operation is ongoing.
“Enquiries need to be made with overseas jurisdictions – when that’s done, the Crown can serve the totality of the evidence.”
Judge Alexander Mills remanded Standen, of College Avenue, Maidstone, in custody.
A mention hearing has been scheduled for February next year.
