A COVENTRY man has been jailed for nine-and-a-half years after being found with a loaded gun in his house.
Kyle Kinchen was given the term at Warwick Crown Court.
In September, after receiving intelligence linking Kinchen’s address to stolen motorbikes, police raided his Glebe Close property.
The gun found in Kyle Kinchen’s house. s
There officers discovered a loaded revolver in the pocket of a coat hanging on Kinchen’s bedroom door, along with four bullets, more than £10,000 in cash, cannabis, cash bags and a stab-proof vest.
The 22-year-old gave ‘no comment’ interviews when quizzed by police and was subsequently charged with possession of firearms, criminal property (£10,000 cash) and cannabis.
PC Charlotte Schofield, from the Eastern Complex Crime Team, said: “This is a hugely positive result for Coventry.
“We take illegal firearms very seriously and will take action wherever possible to take them and the people in possession of them off our streets.
“It was clear when officers carried out the warrant that the house was being used for criminal activity and the team was able to put together a comprehensive case to use against Kinchen in court.”
