Sergeant Mel Thomas of the Barwell and Earl Shilton police team said: “This again was an intelligence led enquiry with a fantastic result.

“Taking illegally held firearms out of circulation is always an achievement and along with the seizure of cannabis plants, cash and a potentially dangerous dog this has been good news.”
