The raid last year in Bartley Green seen police find Three revolvers and a black handgun found hidden in a rucksack alongside nearly 80 rounds of ammunition, half kilo of cocaine and 50 cannabis plants. Lead shot, casings, ammunition making equipment and an instruction leaflet on how to make your own bullets were also recovered. However, there was no evidence the pair had actually manufactured their own rounds. The cocaine − valued at around £19,000 − was found in a black leather bag and a branded red carrier bag.
At Birmingham Crown Court yesterday (22 Feb) they were jailed for nine years and six months, and seven years and six months.
Detective Sergeant Dan Tang from the West Midlands Regional Organised Crime Unit (ROCU) said: “They certainly got a shock when they opened the flat door. Maybe they’d heard footsteps and had expected to find a customer…they couldn’t have been more wrong.
“The revolvers were examined by ballistics experts and identified as being manufactured in the late 1800s. However, they were all fully functioning, lethal weapons.
“The 9mm handgun was capable of firing in both semi-automatic and fully automatic modes and had three unfired bulleted cartridges in the magazine.
“Some deadly weapons and we’ve potentially saved lives by taking them off the streets."
All of the guns were test-fired by ballistics experts.
