Bozlu Miah, 36, of Portman Place, Bethnal Green, pleaded guilty to possession of a firearm, with intent to endanger life and possession of ammunition.
Snaresbrook Crown Court heard on Monday, March 30 officers carried out an intelligence-led search warrant at an address in east London, where Miah was known to reside.
While searching the property, officers found a loaded firearm underneath Miah’s bed – wrapped in plastic bags and hidden in a gift bag.
The firearm was made safe and was seized by officers before sent off for testing.
It was established that it was a viable firearm.
PC Shah Haque, of Central East Gangs Task Force, said: “Officers across London are working around the clock to locate and remove weapons from the streets of London.
“Tackling violent crime is a priority for the Met and we remain committed to bringing anyone who carries or holds firearms and other lethal weapons to justice.
“The evidence gathered against Miah as part of this comprehensive investigation left him with no option but to plead guilty to these offences.”
