The 22-year-old was jailed for three years and a month at Birmingham Crown Court on November 26.

Det Insp Jon Green, of the West Midlands Police Major Crime Unit, said: "This was a great recovery by our local proactive team.

"Drugs and weapons have no place in our community and I hope this sentence acts as a deterrent to other young people on the boundaries of such criminality."
