A MAN has appeared before Blackburn magistrates after a revolver and ammunition were found at his Accrington home along with Class A drugs worth over £10,000.

Blackburn magistrates heard the gun and a taser-like device had been sent for forensic examination to establish exactly what they were and further charges may follow depending on the results.

Babbar Baig, 32, of Howard Close, Accrington, was sent in custody to Burnley Crown Court charged with possessing five rounds of .38 ammunition, possessing cocaine and heroin with intent to supply and possession of cannabis.

He will appear before the Crown Court on October 11.
