Last updated 3rd Jun 2024
A man has been jailed after police discovered a loaded gun and ammunition when officers carried out a warrant at a property in Wolverhampton.
They discovered the revolver after searching Kwame Dalila’s home address in Oxford Street on 15 November last year.
Checks confirmed that it was a live and viable weapon.
He pleaded guilty to possession of a firearm and ammunition and was jailed for five years for the offences at Wolverhampton Crown Court on Friday (31 May).
He also received 18 months for a separate violent disorder offence.
DC Amy Whitehouse, from the Major Crime Team, said:
"We are pleased to have taken another weapon off the streets. We work really hard to arrest and bring to justice the most serious criminals in our region.
"Those with access to firearms represent a real threat, so it’s always pleasing to take live weapons off the streets.
“We do not underestimate the harm and danger that firearms can cause to communities. I would urge anyone with information on those involved in gun crime to please get in touch so that we can continue to take action.”
