A DRUG dealer has been sentenced to more than five years in prison after being caught with a cache of weapons and ammunition hidden in his boiler cupboard.

Several guns were found during a drugs raid at Walenty Kubica’s home in McLaurin Crescent, Johnstone on October 17 last year.

Officers recovered a collection of firearms and ammunition along with £18,000 worth of drugs during the raid.

Among the weapons found were a Beretta 9mm self-loading pistol and a Brazilian-manufactured bolt action rifle, as well as 29 cannabis plants in the flat of Kubica’s son, Konrad, 41. 

The court heard that Kubica’s DNA was found on the firearms recovered or on their cases, along with the bag containing ammunition for the firearms.
