A tip-off led to cops uncovering a gun and ammo hidden under the bed of a man from Coventry.

Jibril Shaban, aged 22, was arrested in January this year after officers received a report about his suspicious behaviour.

When officers arrived at Lower Holyhead Road, Coventry , a revolver and ammunition was found hidden under his bed.

After several court appearances and a trial, Shaban was jailed this week.

Unemployed Shaban first appeared in court on February 22 where he entered two not guilty pleas.

The first count was for possession of a firearm, and the second count for possession of ammunition without a certificate.

The case then went to trial on June 14 where it lasted two days.

He was found guilty on June 15 by a unanimous verdict from the jury.

He was jailed for five years at Warwick Crown Court on Wednesday (11 July).
