A 41-year-old man was jailed for five years after pleading guilty to firearm possession in High Wycombe.
These incidents happened last year in late May and early June. Specifically, they occurred between May 25 and June 5. Because of this, police searched a property located on John North Close. During that search, officers found a gun. The search took place on July 4.
