A MAN who tried to illegally import knuckleduster knives from China to Southend to give to his dad “as an ornament” has been jailed. Harry Lee claimed he did not know it was illegal to import weapons such as knuckledusters to the UK, despite sending the weapons to a Southend address that was not his own. The 25-year-old of Percy Cottis Road, Rochford, sent the package to a property in Burleigh Court, Southend, which was intercepted in September last year. Basildon Crown Court heard that a UK Border Force officer based at the Royal Mail investigations and logistics centre in Berkshire had found the suspicious package on September 1.
