Turkish gangster jailed indefinitely for machine gun ambush (From Haringey Independent): "Yusuf Arslan, 20, a decorator, of Oxford Close, Edmonton, targeted the two men as they drove in Lansdowne Road just before midnight on September 20 last year.
He blocked their path with a silver Vauxhall Corsa before firing at the pair as they sat in their vehicle. One of them was shot in the arm.
Arslan, described by police as a dangerous individual, fled the scene but officers from Operation Trident, the Met's specialist unit for gun crime, tracked him down and he was arrested a week later.
He denied any knowledge of the shooting and was released on bail while investigations continued.
Despite being under investigated by police, Arslan was stopped by police in Ferry Lane, near Tottenham Hale station, and found with another gun and wearing a bullet-proof vest.
The pair had been trailed by police after leaving a Walthamstow massage parlour in a taxi booked using false names and had asked the driver to chauffeur them across different locations in Tottenham.
Suspicious they were being followed, Arslan's companion, Emre Kamalak, 24, of Chesthunte Road, tried to toss a bag from the car window which was later found to contain a loaded Brocock Snubnose revolver converted to fire live rounds."
