Sergeant Tonge, of West Yorkshire Police, said: “Firearms and Class A drugs have no place on the streets of West Yorkshire and the Neighbourhood Impact Team will continue to disrupt the activities of those involved in this kind of criminality in the Wakefield district.
“The converted firearm possessed by Yaseen was clearly intended for criminal purposes and I hope our communities will be reassured by this result.”
