Gun and taser found in man's chest of drawers

Edwards was sentenced to eight years in prison on Thursday – five years for the firearms offences and three years for the drugs offences.

Ch Insp Tom Tooth of Avon and Somerset Police said: "Edwards' evasive behaviour when officers first spoke to him led them to believe he had something to hide.

"It is clear from the amount of drugs that Edwards' had in his possession that he had intended to sell them, bringing further harm to our communities through drug use and drug-related crime."
