Police Warn After Three Shotgun Thefts in Two Weeks

Shotguns Stolen Due to Poor Security

Over the past fortnight, police have recorded three shotgun thefts. In two cases, the guns and ammunition were left unsecured, making them easy targets for thieves.

Gun Owners Urged to Lock Up Properly

While shotguns are standard kit for licensed holders, experts stress top-notch security is non-negotiable. Guns must never be left unattended outside their cabinets.

Serious Consequences for Negligence

Everyone has a duty to keep firearms out of the wrong hands. Licence holders face criminal charges and almost certain revocation of their certificates if they fail to safeguard their weapons.
