Fezhan Ali charged with possession of a firearm in Small Heath, Birmingham

West Midlands Police has charged a man after recovering a gun and ammunition from an address in Small Heath, Birmingham.

Officers executed a warrant and found a revolver and bullets in Henshaw Road on Friday (16 June) evening. Fezhan Ali was arrested and has since been charged with possession of a firearm with intent to endanger life and having ammunition.

The 24-year-old appeared before Birmingham Magistrates Court today (Monday, June 19) where he was remanded ahead of a further hearing at Crown Court on July 17.

It comes after WMP launched Operation Target which the force says sees officers take a defiant stand against a range of serious offences – from drug dealing and burglary, to cyber-crime and fraud. Officers are using local intelligence, seizing goods, carrying out warrants and targeting suspects.
