Man jailed after gun found in trousers

Levi Williams has been sentenced to five years and three months in jail

A gun was found in a man's trousers during a police raid.

Officers had searched a property in Heera Close, Coventry, which had been shut by a closure order, but they came across Levi Williams, 36.

A revolver and live ammunition were discovered in the waistband of his trousers and he was arrested.

Williams, of no fixed abode, pleaded guilty to firearms possession and breaching the closure order. He was sentenced to five years and three months in prison.

Members of the public had banned from entering the property after the closure order was granted in March, following concerns of anti-social behaviour, drug dealing and cuckooing.

Det Ch Insp Adam Jobson of West Midlands Police said: "Firearms have no place on the street and we will track down and arrest anyone who thinks they should have one."

The raid took place on 2 April.
