Ryan Miller, 23

Miller was jailed for 24 months at Norwich Crown Court after he and two other men were found to be in possession of an array of weapons including two machetes and a baseball bat after pulling over a car in Norwich.

The two other men were Connor Secker, 20 and Brogan Crosby, 20.

Crosby was sentenced to 20 months imprisonment suspended for 20 months and ordered to do 300 hours unpaid work.
