A TEENAGER has appeared before Blackburn magistrates after a gun loaded with live ammunition was recovered from a Blackburn alleyway.
Police were tipped off after a passer-by saw someone conceal a bag down the alley.
When officers recovered it they discovered a Zoraki 914 handgun on Saturday.
Asher Amad, 19, of West Park Road, Blackburn, was sent in custody to Preston Crown Court charged with possessing a firearm and possessing heroin and crack cocaine with intent to supply both drugs.
