A teenage drug dealer was jailed after his mum discovered a hidden gun while tidying his room. Owen Walker was 19 at the time when his parent found the modified firearm while vacuuming his bedroom last December.
She called the police then rang Walker's dad, who brought the teen back to the home in Worcester, where officers arrested him. The pistol was seized while a mobile phone, with messages linking him to drug dealing, was also found by cops, The Mirror reports.
Walker was bailed but within seven months he was caught drug dealing in his hometown while carrying a knife. Worcester Crown Court heard officers searched his home on June 21 where they seized a knife and a machete, as well as cocaine and heroin.
Lee Egan, prosecuting, said nitrous oxide canisters were also found, and a video on his seized phone showed Walker and friends using the canisters.

Two phones seized from Walker further linked him to drug dealing, while a search of his home led to a bag containing 24g of cannabis being found.
At Worcester Crown Court, Walker, who is now 20, admitted a string of charges. He pled guilty to possession of a firearm and ammunition, possession of a knife, possession of a psychoactive substance (nitrous oxide) with intent to supply and possessing cocaine and diamorphine and cannabis.

Mark Schilling Japan Correspondent Boys’ Love, or ‘BL’ as it is also known, was once a minor and lightly regarded type of Japanese manga catering mainly to female fans, delivering stories of handsome young guys falling in love with each other. Now its popularity has spread beyond Japan to much of East Asia and beyond, while metamorphozing into a film, TV and online genre with millions of fans. Just how big BL has become was evident in a Wednesday TIFFCOM seminar on the BL phenomenon in Thailand: Beyond Borders: Exploring the Global Appeal and Diversity of Thailand’s Boys’ Love Contents. The eleven speakers, including an official from the Office of Commercial Affairs, Royal Thai Embassy in Japan, vigorously pitched partnerships with Japanese content companies, which seemed to be a classic case of selling ice to Alaska’s indigenous inhabitants. Members of the packed seminar room might beg to differ, however.
