Two Nottinghamshire men have been jailed after being snared by police while they attempted to transport a sawn-off shotgun in a carrier bag. Police stopped Nathan Clifford when he was outside a property in Caldbeck Walk, Bestwood.
After the 34-year-old was stopped by Nottinghamshire Police, officers found the weapon wrapped in a bedsheet. He also had eight cartridges that matched the bore of the weapon as well as a shotgun grip and items needed to make the gun fire.
Around the same time Clifford was arrested on December 30, 2020, a van was seen driving into the area. Upon spotting the police, the van made a hasty retreat.
