Boy facing gun charge

A TEENAGE boy is due in Swindon Youth Court today to face charges of possessing a gun and dealing in heroin and crack cocaine.

The boy was 15 when he was arrested in August last year. He is now 16, and is believed to be the youngest person charged with a firearms offence in Swindon.

He is accused of possessing a .22 double action Sentinel revolver recovered during a raid on a house in Toothill.

He is also charged with possessing ammunition.

The boy was only charged recently because of the time needed to carry out forensic tests on the weapon.
