Gun and ammunition found during raid by armed officers in Warwick

A 46-YEAR-OLD Warwick man has been charged after a gun and ammunition were found at his home.

Stefan Fenyes, 46, was arrested by armed National Crime Agency (NCA) officers at his Tachbrook Park Drive address yesterday (Thursday).

The NCA said a self-loading pistol with a magazine and eight rounds of ammunition were discovered.

Mr Fenyes was arrested and later charged with possessing a prohibited weapon, the importation of a prohibited weapon and the possession of ammunition.

He has been remanded in custody and will appear at Birmingham Magistrates’ Court on Saturday (22nd March).

NCA branch operations manager Rick Mackenzie said: "We have recovered a viable firearm with several rounds of ammunition.

"Unlawfully held guns and ammunition can end up in the hands of organised criminal groups where they are used to cause fear and devastation within our communities.

"The NCA is committed to protecting the public against the threat of firearms and our work with partners both in the UK and overseas continues.”
