A 32-year-old man who was found with an unlicensed firearm was sentenced to 15 months behind bars on Thursday.
Prince Atherley was arrested after officers found a loaded 9mm pistol in his waistband on December 30.
He pleaded guilty to possession of an unlicensed firearm and illegal ammunition during a hearing before Deputy Chief Magistrate Andrew Forbes.
The court heard that night, officers on mobile patrol near Cambridge Street observed Atherley sitting in a car. The prosecution said the accused appeared to look in the direction of the officers before acting in a suspicious manner.
Officers then approached Atherley and told him he would be searched for dangerous drugs and firearms. During their investigation, they discovered the weapon, which had eight unfired rounds of .9mm ammunition in it. Atherley was subsequently arrested and transported to the Central Detective Unit where he admitted to the offences in an interview with police.
