Louise McCullough successfully prosecuted a member of the South London ABM(“All ‘Bout Money”) “Team Raw” gang following the conclusion of a three-week trial at Inner London yesterday on a charge of possession of a firearm with intent to endanger life.
He and fellow gang members undertook a “ride out” in a rival gang’s territory before shots were fired at members of that rival gang in a children’s play area in Brixton.

Sentencing will take place on 12th May 2023.
