Police have arrested and charged a man with firearms offences after carrying out a warrant at an address in Birmingham.

Logan Turner, aged 28, was set to appear at Birmingham Magistrates Court yesterday (Nov 28). He is charged with two counts of possessing a firearm with intent to endanger life and two counts of possessing ammunition with intent to endanger life.

He has also been charged with possession of cannabis with intent to supply and possession of criminal property - a quantity of cash.

Police gangs team carried out the arrest on Monday (Nov 27) after they conducted a firearms warrant at an address in Handsworth.

It’s part of Operation Target which sees police taking a defiant stand against a range of serious and organised crime offences – from drug dealing and burglary to cyber crime and fraud.
