Shock Warning: Three Shotguns Stolen in Fortnight! Police have reported three shotgun thefts in just two weeks. In two cases, the firearms and ammo were left unsecured, making it a thief’s dream.

Gun Owners Urged to Lock Up Tight

For many certificate holders, shotguns are everyday tools. But law enforcers stress one thing loud and clear: never leave guns unattended or outside their locked cabinets, not even for a moment.

Fail to Secure, Face Serious Consequences

Everyone has a duty to keep guns out of the wrong hands. Certificate holders must remember they have a legal responsibility to maintain top security at all times. Breach of this duty won’t just bring criminal charges — your firearm certificate will almost certainly be revoked.

Stay vigilant. Lock up or lose your licence.
