Man to be sentenced after armed police raided Watford home

A man has admitted violent disorder and producing cannabis after armed police raided his Watford home.

Andi Cera, of Cassio Road in Watford, appeared at Reading Crown Court on May 10 where he pleaded guilty to both charges linked to a firearms incident in Slough on January 12.

Officers raided his address on April 6 after he was arrested as part of an attempted murder investigation over reports of violent disorder in Kaywood Close, Slough.

In footage from the day, officers in helmets and carrying guns can be seen watching the street, while in another video, armed police appear to be searching inside a car.

His co-defendant Eringlen Cani, of Ivenhoe Drive, Harrow, also appeared at Reading Crown Court on March 28 where he admitted possession of an imitation firearm with intent to cause fear of violence and production of a class B drug (cannabis).

They were both remanded in custody and will be sentenced together at Reading Crown Court on June 13.

Cera had previously denied being in possession of an imitation firearm with intent to cause fear of violence, which is not among charges he is being sentenced for, according to court documents. Thames Valley Police have been contacted for more information.
