Bradford man jailed for taser disguised as smartphone

    A Bradford man has been jailed after a taser disguised as a smartphone was found in his possession.

    Mubasher Ali, 40, was sentenced to two and a half years after two weapons were found in his bedroom on Great Horton Road.

    Bradford Crown Court heard how a taser was made to look like an iPhone and a stun gun was made to resemble a black torch.

    On 3 June last year, police stopped a car in which Ali was a passenger and subsequently arrested him.

    When later searching his home, officers discovered the taser in a box in his bedroom and the torch in a wardrobe.

    The items were taken away for analysis and they were both found to be in working order by a police forensics expert.
