A former Ipswich man has appeared in court charged with possessing a double-barrelled shotgun and two stun guns.
Lee Rogers, formerly of Lacey Street, Ipswich, had his case sent to the town’s crown court after making his first appearance on three charges before South East Suffolk Magistrates’ Court.
The 34-year-old, who is now living with his mother in east London, is alleged to have committed the offences on July 17.
Rogers is charged with possessing a prohibited firearm of length less than 30cms/60cms. The length of the barrels is said to be 28cms
The thermal insulation engineer is also accused of two counts of possessing a weapon for the discharge of electricity.
The weapons are alleged to have been found when police went to Rogers’ former home. No plea was entered during the proceedings. Rogers next appearance will be at the crown court on August 17. He was remanded in custody.
