Martynas Zukauskas, 27, appeared at Cambridge Crown Court on July 13 where an order was made under the Proceeds of Crime Act (POCA) for him to pay £12,353.74 within three months. If he doesn't he faces a further nine months in jail and still must pay the sum. He initially received a seven-year sentence in January this year, which was then reduced to six, after being found guilty of two counts of being in possession of a firearm with intent to cause fear of violence. He was cleared of a charge of assault causing actual bodily harm (ABH) and had previously admitted possession of criminal property – namely cash, possession with intent to supply cocaine and possession with intent to supply cannabis. A court heard how Zukauskas, of Midland Road, Peterborough , drove his black BMW in the West Town area of the city on May 21 last year when he pulled up alongside two men and pointed a gun at them.

The following day, one of the victims was cycling down Midland Road, West Town, when a black BMW with a broken window pulled up alongside him and the driver – the same man from the previous night – pointed a pistol at him. The victim managed to run and hide until he sought help from a member of the public who drove him to Thorpe Wood Police Station where he reported the incident to police. The driver was identified as 26-year-old Zukauskas, who was arrested the following day (May 23), driving the black BMW in London Road, Peterborough.

Officers searching his then-home found about £1,400 of cocaine, other drugs paraphernalia and weapons, including a high-powered gas canister shotgun that was hidden under a kickboard in the kitchen. Designer watches, clothing, luggage, Bitcoin cryptocurrency and a receipt for a £23,000 cash payment for the BMW were also found. Cambridgeshire Constabulary Detective Constable Kevin Poole, said: “These were incredibly frightening experiences for the victims. Thankfully gun crime is extremely rare in our county, it will not be tolerated and we will do all we can to put those who chose to partake in it before the courts.” Story Saved You can find this story in My Bookmarks.
