A furious motorist has been jailed after he was caught on camera brandishing a gun during an 'insignificant' traffic dispute.

Shocking CCTV footage of the road rage incident shows Daniel Closca, 30, stopping his black Audi on Croyland Road in Edmonton, London due to a vehicle blocking the road ahead.

The vehicle behind him is seen reversing to allow Closca to do the same, but he refuses to move. Closca then gets out of his car before walking over to the vehicle behind and waving his hands in anger.

After walking back to the Audi, he leans into the vehicle where the female front passenger appears to pass him a handgun.

The terrifying clip then shows Closca pointing the weapon at the car behind before driving off. The Audi was later identified a few days later using Automatic Number-Plate Recognition (ANPR) in Bedford. 

Officers identified Closca as the gunman after comparing the CCTV images to the image from his driving licence, which was found in the car. 

A bag containing a large quantity of cash was also found but the handgun has not been recovered.

Closca, of Foster Hill Road, Bedford, was arrested on June 12 after enquiring about his car at a north London police station. He was jailed for 18 months in July after pleading guilty to possession of a firearm with intent to cause fear of violence at Wood Green Crown Court.

Detective Constable Joel Gregory, the investigating officer from Enfield's Major Crime Unit, said: 'Closca brazenly produced a firearm in the street following what appeared to be an insignificant traffic dispute.

'He had complete disregard for the safety of those around him and also made no effort to disguise what he was doing or who he was.

'It was clear that Closca produced that firearm to cause the occupants of the vehicle behind him to fear for their own safety.

'I would like to extend my thanks to the two members of the public who supported the police investigation. Without them this conviction would not have been possible.
