Mohammed was approached by plain-clothed patrol officers when they spotted a group of men acting suspiciously, and he attempted to flee the scene. He was searched after admitting to carrying a weapon, and was then detained by police. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Hassan Mohammed has been locked up for 11 years after he was found recklessly carrying a handgun around the streets of Sheffield. \ud83d\udea8 <br><br>During a plain-clothed patrol officers stopped and searched Mohammed, uncovering a black handgun, ammunition and drugs. \ud83d\udc47 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/sLwrun2lJU\">pic.twitter.com\/sLwrun2lJU<\/a><\/p>&mdash; South Yorkshire Police (@syptweet) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/syptweet\/status\/1780567445868101694?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">April 17, 2024<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Mohammed was also found to be in possession of a knife and suspected class A drugs. \u00a3375 in cash was seized, along with three mobile phones that he was carrying at the time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A warrant was issued for the suspects home and a search was conducted, where police found a very large quantity of class A drugs, including heroin and cocaine. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Detective Constable Yates also commented: &#8220;This excellent result came from proactive work by our neighbourhood policing officers and comprehensive work carried out by the Armed Crime Team.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mohammed appeared at Sheffield Crown Court on 8 March, pleading guilty on all charges.
