POLICE found a handgun hidden under a bed during a late-night raid in Chelmsley Wood.
Officers had swooped on the Oxford Grove flat in the early hours of this morning (Friday) and had found the firearm concealed.
A 30-year-old man was arrested and remains in police custody while experts examine the weapon - which could be a converted blank-firing pistol.
The handgun was one of four firearms seized by West Midlands Police in just 12 hours.
DCI Ian Ingram, said: "These are some really notable seizures… firearms and ammunition that at the very least could have been used to threaten but potentially kill.
"These recoveries may well have saved lives."
