A
gunman arrested after police raided his South Croydon home, seizing a
pistol and 50 bullets, has received five years imprisonment.
Aaron
Prince, 29, of Pampisford Road, South Croydon, pleaded guilty to
possession of a firearm, a prohibited weapon and ammunition.
Croydon
Crown Court heard that on Wednesday, August 22, police executed a
warrant at Prince’s home address.
During
the search, officers discovered a small pistol alongside 50 rounds of
9mm ammunition in Prince’s bedroom.
A
quantity of drugs, cash and a stun gun were also found in the flat.
Police
Constable Shelley Allison, who led the investigation, said: “We
are committed to protecting our communities from gun crime and are
pleased that this weapon has now been removed from our streets.
“This
sentence is a great example of the work Croydon’s crime squad does
to disrupt the most dangerous offenders and we will continue to
actively pursue and prosecute those who carry these weapons.”
