A Doncaster man has been jailed for two years and three months after police discovered a shogun wrapped in plastic under a set of stairs during a raid earlier this year.
22 year old Tyler Wright, of Tickhill Road, was detained in March after police burst into his home.
A full search uncovered the single barrelled shotgun, with Wright subsequently being charged with firearms offences.
He was handed a custodial sentence last week at Sheffield Crown Court after pleading guilty.
Detective Constable Jessica Mitchell, of South Yorkshire Police, said:
"This dangerous weapon was found hidden in a terraced house down an ordinary residential street.
"Thanks to diligent intelligence gathering, we were able to execute this warrant and fully search the property leading to the discovery of this gun and a prison sentence for Wright.
"We want our communities to be safe from the danger posed by firearms and we will continue to take action against those involved in criminality linked to firearms."
