Det Con Carla Logan, from West Midlands Police's Complex Investigation Team, said: "Firearms and drugs play a significant role in criminality on our streets. It persistently erodes communities, ruining lives and blighting communities.

"We hope this sentence will offer a deterrent to other criminals who act in this way." A spokesperson for the force added: "We're currently running Operation Target which sees us take a defiant stand against a range of serious and organised crime offences.

"Officers use local intelligence, seize goods, carry out warrants and target offenders as part of Op Target’s ongoing crackdown against serious and organised crime.

"Anyone with information about serious and organised crime in their neighbourhood, should report it to us via 101 or Live Chat. In case of an emergency, dial 999. Alternatively, reports can be made anonymously via the independent charity, Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111."
