A PINNER arms dealer seized in a dramatic raid by firearms officers faces extradition to the United States today.

Guy Savage is wanted by American prosecutors to face charges of breaching export regulations on items including M16 assault rifles and silencers.

The 34-year-old has denied being involved in “clandestine smuggling” and claims the accusations against him amount to only regulatory offences.

He was arrested by armed police as he pulled out his sleepy cul-de-sac Daymer Gardens on February 8.

On the same day more than 500 guns were seized in a raid on his business Sabre Defence Industries Ltd, in Belvue Road, Northolt, police say.

He was legally allowed to sell firearms but that licence has since been revoked.

His hearing, at City of Westminster Magistrates Court begins this morning.
