Zohaib Hussain, 30, has been jailed for five years after police discovered a loaded fi***rm hidden in a bush during a search in Sheffield.
On Monday, September 14, officers on patrol spotted a Land Rover Defender travelling at high speed along Staniforth Road. They began pursuing the vehicle until the driver abandoned it on Olivers Drive and ran down a nearby alleyway, where they caught up with Hussain.
During the pursuit, one of the officers saw Hussain disappear into a bush. After detaining him, officers searched the area and found a black bag containing a revolver loaded with three live rounds of am******on. Body-worn camera footage captured officers discovering the weapon. Hussain was arrested and subsequently charged with possessing a fi***rm and possessing am******on for a fi***rm without a certificate.
On Tuesday, October 27, Hussain, of Huntsman Road, Sheffield, was sentenced to five years after pleading guilty to both offences at Sheffield Crown Court. South Yorkshire Police said the discovery was down to the determination of two response officers who continued pursuing Hussain after he abandoned the vehicle and fled on foot, leading to the discovery of the loaded revolver.
