A weapon-obsessed dad who was discovered with three guns and thousands of pounds of drugs has been jailed for ten years. Rocky Hoban, 42, had two sawn-off shotguns and a blank-firing handgun adapted to fire live rounds, along with £11,000 of cocaine when police raided his home.
Specialist officers found the arsenal of firearms hidden in a bag inside a wardrobe in the bedroom at his home. They also recovered 15 rounds of adapted 8mm ammunition for the handgun, live shotgun cartridges and two bags of steel ball bearings, used to modify ammunition.
Police went on to discover a bag containing four ounces of cocaine in the wardrobe, which was later confirmed as having a street value of £11,000. The firearms underwent specialist examination and were confirmed as prohibited weapons under the Firearms Act.
