Four people, including a 14-year-old girl, accused of firearms offences have been remanded to custody.

The girl is accused of conspiring to supply firearms, including revolvers and a machine pistol, and possessing illegal weapons and ammunition.

A youth of 16 is charged with possessing a revolver, cocaine, cannabis and five CS sprays.

A man of 18 and a woman of 31 also appeared on firearms charges. All are from Colindale in north-west London.

All four appeared at High Barnet magistrate's court on Saturday.

Police also recovered other firearms and crack cocaine during the raid.
