Elliott Simon, aged 28, has been jailed for seven years after pleading guilty to possession of a firearm with intent to cause fear of violence and possession of a Class A drug. In December 2018, Simon and another man became frustrated when a car occupied by three men stopped in front of their vehicle in Watford, Hertfordshire, causing a hold up. Simon’s accomplice shouted at the men and threatened to rob them before Simon got out the car and fired two shots from a handgun at the ground near one of the men’s feet. He then shot twice more at the car as it was driven away. One round was later found in the rear passenger door and the other entered the driver’s seat. By the time police officers arrived, Simon and his accomplice had left the scene. Simon was arrested a few days later, while his collaborator handed himself in a week later.
