In January 2023, West Midlands Police carried out a warrant at the property linked to Jon-James (Jayden), Kye, and Kaiden Lemathy on Holte Road, Aston.
The property was searched alongside a Nissan car parked outside.
From the car, a fully-loaded sawn-off shotgun and cartridges were recovered alongside a significant quantity of cannabis and cocaine, with a total estimated street value of more than £12,000.
Through analysis of CCTV, police were able to identify Jayden, Kye, and Kaiden as having accessed the Nissan several times over five days.

They also seized several mobile phones which were forensically examined and found to be advertising drugs for sale in bulk quantities.
Jayden Lemathy, aged 33, of Holte Road, admitted possession of a firearm and possession with intent to supply Class A drugs, and was sentenced to 10 years and eight months in prison.
Kye Lemathy, aged 21, also of Holte Road, admitted possession with intent to supply a Class B drug, and possessing criminal property.
Earlier this year, following a different investigation into a shooting in Aston, he also admitted possession of a firearm with intent and was jailed for more than nine years in total.
Kaiden Lemathy, 18, also of Holte Road, was sentenced two years in prison for possession with intent to supply drugs and possession of a firearm.
He was also sentenced to seven years in prison for causing grievous bodily harm with intent, three counts of attempting to cause grievous bodily harm with intent, and dangerous driving after a separate investigation.
Detective Sergeant Fisher, from West Midlands Police’s Major Crime team said: “The end result of months of complex enquiries was three members of the same family being convicted for serious offences.
“We know they were responsible for issues arising from the supply of drugs in the local area – and we’re more committed than ever to cracking down on that.”
