Luke Carney, 28, from Swanley in Kent, was sentenced to five years’ jail at Woolwich Crown Court on Monday, June 8, after police uncovered illegal weapons, drugs and £12,000 cash and counterfeit money during two separate raids on his property.
Officers executed the first warrant at his home on Alder Way on November 6, 2025.
He was detained the following day on the M4 by South Wales Police and later charged with possession of a prohibited weapon (namely a revolver), possession of a firearm without a certificate and possession of a shotgun without a certificate.
Carney was released on conditional bail, but a second warrant was carried out at his home on December 11 last year.
Police seized approximately £12,000 in cash and counterfeit money, along with drug paraphernalia and four mobile phones.

He was then charged with possession of criminal property and being concerned in the supply of Class A drugs.
Detective Sergeant Tony Hatcher said: “Any drug dealer deserves to be in jail and one who is in possession of lethal weapons can expect a lengthy prison sentence.
“Our officers were determined to bring Carney to justice and evidence of his offending was recovered during two searches of his home.
“The misuse of Class A drugs brings misery to families and the wider community and Swanley will undoubtedly be a safer place while this man is in jail.”
