14. Ray Fowler
A keen metal detectorist who stored a shotgun and spent cartridges in a bush in his back garden. Former soldier Ray Fowler, 62, said he found the metre-long weapon in woods near his home in Brookfield Gardens, Rodley. Despite it being rusty, it was found to still be capable of being fired.

15. Ian Rendle
A paedophile who admitted he was dangerous and had a fascination with teenage girls’ bottoms. Ian Rendle was spared custody because he would not get the right treatment – despite pleading guilty to almost 20 offences. The 32-year-old, of Park Lodge Lane, Wakefield, sexually assaulted his victims, took upskirt photos and would take videos of them on his phone. Photo: National World
