GUN AND DRUGS FIND LEADS TO ARRESTS

We have recovered a firearm and ammunition from an outbuilding in Tamworth.

Officers carried out a warrant at a property on Tamworth Road in Amington at around 7.20pm on Tuesday (2 June).

A firearm and ammunition were recovered.

Officers also seized class A and B drugs as well as related paraphernalia.

A 39-year-old woman and a 39-year-old man, both from Tamworth were later arrested on suspicion of possession of a firearm without a certificate, possession of ammunition for a firearm without a certificate, possession of class A drugs, MDMA; possession with intent to supply class B drugs, cannabis; and possession of criminal property.

The woman has been placed on conditional police bail while our inquiries continue.

The man, who was subject to licence conditions at the time of his arrest, has since been recalled to prison.

We continue to do all we can to identify and disrupt criminal activity in Staffordshire and urge anyone who sees anything suspicious in their area to report it to us.
