Police arrived at the property to carry out a drugs warrant and found that the front door had been boarded up
Police arrived at the property on October 27 this year to carry out a drugs warrant and found that the front door had been boarded up. Lyons was seen through the upstairs window and was instructed to make his way to the front door.
Police forced their way into the house and handcuffed Lyons and his girlfriend, who was also in the property. Lyons “appeared agitated” and began apologising to his girlfriend. Police later established this was for the firearm that was discovered. Lyons told police that he had bought the gun for approximately £500 from an unnamed man in Birmingham “for his own protection” as “several people were pursuing him”.The court was told that Lyons has 27 previous convictions and in mitigation, Sean Smith said that Lyons was planning on moving away from Leeds to get away from the criminal violence that he had found himself wrapped up in. He said that Lyons wanted to take up youth work to talk young people out of turning to crime.
