A drug dealer has been jailed for ten years after Class A drugs worth £100,000 were found by Police at a house in Scraptoft, along with a revolver.

Liam Chambers, admitted possessing heroin and crack cocaine with intent to supply and possessing a firearm.

Leicester Crown Court heard he was arrested after his DNA and fingerprints were found on the items.

Officer in the case, Detective Constable Beverley Toon said: “This was a significant amount of class A drugs which was found in addition to a firearm and ammunition and I am pleased that Chambers has accepted responsibility. My thanks go to the investigation team who have worked hard on this case to see this result.

“Illegal firearms are extremely dangerous and put lives at risk. The supply of drugs causes damage to both individuals and communities. We will continually work to remove both of these items from our streets and to prosecute those responsible for bringing them into the area. I urge anyone who has any information regarding a person being in possession of an illegal firearm or concerned in drug supply to report it to police immediately.”
