TWO soldiers appeared in court yesterday accused of plotting to sell ammunition to a cop.

Kirtland Gill, 40, and Rajon Graham, 32, were arrested in an undercover sting in January.


The pair, from Windsor, reportedly serve in the Coldstream Guards.

The Coldstream Guards, recognisable for their red jackets and black bearskin hats, have a ceremonial role as protectors of Windsor Castle and Buckingham Palace.

Graham and Gill are charged with conspiracy to sell or transfer ammunition.

Graham is also accused of four counts of selling or transferring ammunition, relating to a total of 300 9mm bullets which were allegedly sold to an undercover police officer.
