Asif Mahmood
A drug dealer who stored a potentially lethal firearm in his wardrobe and a stash of cocaine in his car has been jailed for seven years and four months.
Asif Mahmood alerted the police to the firearm, referred to “murders in Bradford and Nottingham,” and told officers he needed to clear his head, the crown court heard today.
He claimed he was made to store the adapted Bruni Olympic 6 firearm and 116 wraps of cocaine after writing off an Audi RS3 he wasn’t insured to drive.
He said he had lost his job as a warehouse operative because of the coronavirus pandemic and been unable to keep up the payments on the £18,000 debt.
