Two Canterbury-based soldiers have been found guilty of stealing military explosives and helping pass them onto the Glasgow underworld.

A 37-year-old colour sergeant and a 28-year-old lance corporal - who can't be named - were found guilty by a jury at Maidstone Crown Court.

Both men - who denied conspiracy to possess explosives and handling stolen goods will be sentenced on Monday when the judge is expected to lift the reporting ban.

Two other men will also be sentenced for their part in the conspiracy next week. All four were serving with the 5th battalion the Royal Regiment of Scotland based at Howe Barracks, Canterbury.
