A MAN's gun collection has been ordered to be destroyed after police seized five weapons being kept illegally.
Bradley Stokes pleaded guilty to one count of failing to comply with a condition of a firearm certificate when he appeared before magistrates in Hereford earlier this month.
Police found that Stokes, 29, had five guns and ammunition which were not being stored securely.
They came across weapons including a bolt action rifle and a semi-automatic shotgun.
The full list consisted of two Tikka air guns, a Browning Maxus section one semi automatic shotgun, a Remington bolt action rifle and a CZ bolt action air rifle with a moderator and a scope.

He must also pay costs of £85 and a £300 victim surcharge.
His guilty plea was taken into account and his firearms certificate was not revoked by magistrates.
