A former soldier who handed a discarded shotgun in to police faces at least five years imprisonment for "doing his duty".
Paul Clarke, 27, was found guilty of possessing a firearm at Guildford Crown Court on Tuesday – after finding the gun and handing it personally to police officers on March 20 this year.
The jury took 20 minutes to make its conviction, and Mr Clarke now faces a minimum of five year's imprisonment for handing in the weapon.

"They found my military ID which stopped them dead in their tracks," the student, who asked not to be identified, told WTMJ-TV. "What I presume to be the leader said, 'We can't do this. We've got to give him his stuff back.'"
