Samuel James Tooke, 26, received 10 years imprisonment, which included additional offences of burglary dwelling and handling stolen goods.

Shane Kelk, 23, was sentenced to seven years and five months imprisonment, which included additional offences of burglary, handling stolen goods, theft, assault, assaulting a police officer, possession of a knife, and drugs trafficking offences.

Detective Inspector Dave Rimmer said: “My first thoughts are with the victims of all the offences who can now be assured the offenders will not be at liberty for the foreseeable future.

“At the time of the firearms offence there was a mother with her young child in the house. You can only imagine how frightening this would have been for them.

“I am proud of the quality of the investigation undertaken and pay tribute to the teams professional determination, which has led to guilty pleas and the long term incarceration of these criminals.”
