Two British Army soldiers have been charged with trying to sell ammunition from the armed forces.

Kirtland Gill, 40, and Rajon Graham, 32, were arrested in January at addresses in Berkshire following an investigation by the Metropolitan Police's Flying Squad.

The Coldstream Guardsmen are accused of offences including conspiracy to transfer or sell ammunition.

They have been bailed to appear before Westminster magistrates on 1 July.

Graham is charged with the conspiracy offence and four counts of selling or transferring ammunition.

Gill also faces the conspiracy charge and one count of possessing a prohibited weapon - an imitation firearm capable of discharging noxious liquid.
