A Corby man has been charged with possession of a converted firearm.

Leon Kane Reid appeared at Northampton Magistrates’ Court on Wednesday (November 16) to face a single charge of possession of a converted viable Retay-23 blank-firing pistol.

An application for bail was denied and Reid was remanded in custody until his next court date at the end of November.
