Detective Chief Superintendent Nick Wallen said: “This was an extremely serious incident in which a house and car were damaged by the discharge of an automatic weapon – a gun designed to cause maximum damage in a short space of time.

“The illegal use of firearms will not be tolerated and we hope this outcome will serve as a warning that you will go to prison if you are convicted of such an offence.

“We would also like to take this opportunity to appeal to anyone who has information about where this weapon might be now, so it can be safely recovered and destroyed.”
