CCTV footage shows the moment a firearm was discharged outside Lakeside Shopping Centre in Essex last year.

On Tuesday 13 September 2022, three men drove to the retail park. Two went into a store to shop whilst one waited in a car.

Shortly after, a Nissan Juke arrived, and Rio Burton-Devine, 24, of no fixed address, and Forrest Bentick, 24, also of no fixed address, got out, before Burton-Devine discharged a firearm towards the victims.

Both victims were not hurt.

Bentick was jailed for an extended term of 19 years and six months and Burton-Devine for three years and six months on 21 August.
