Lead Investigator, DC Gareth Askew, from Northamptonshire Police's Serious & Organised Crime Team, said: “This was a complex and lengthy investigation that I am really pleased has resulted in this hefty sentence.
“This incident involved the firing of a gun into a crowded pub which was an exceptionally dangerous and reckless thing to do.
“Protecting the public is of paramount importance to us so I hope the work that has gone into this investigation in order to bring the offender to justice reassures people that Northamptonshire Police has zero-tolerance towards such unashamed displays of violence.
“I am glad that Cox has been brought to justice with a substantial prison sentence.”
Following the sentence, His Honour Judge Herbert commended DC Askew for his good work and thorough investigation into this incident on behalf of Northamptonshire Police.
