A man has been charged with firearm possession after a weapon and ammunition were found in a garden.

Wiltshire Police said his arrest followed an incident on 18 September when a member of the public found a bag containing the firearm and bullets and handed them in to the police.

Molloy, 20, will appear at Swindon Crown Court on 8 March for a trial.

He appeared at Swindon Magistrates' Court earlier.
