Cops mum on 40 stolen guns

20140812

Po­lice have con­firmed they are in­ves­ti­gat­ing the dis­ap­pear­ance of over 40 guns from the Foren­sic Sci­ence Cen­tre, St James, but are be­ing mum on the in­ves­ti­ga­tion.

Con­tact­ed yes­ter­day on the sta­tus of the in­ves­ti­ga­tion, Deputy Com­mis­sion­er of Po­lice Glen Hack­ett said he would speak on the mat­ter when he had some­thing sub­stan­tive.

Ac­cord­ing to re­ports, the guns went miss­ing some­time be­tween last year and last month. The weapons were tak­en to the cen­tre for bal­lis­tic test­ing. Most of them formed part of ex­hibits in on­go­ing po­lice cas­es and their re­moval may ham­per the cas­es.

The dis­ap­pear­ance of the weapons was first re­port­ed to di­rec­tor at the Foren­sic Sci­ence Cen­tre, Ar­lette Lewis, by Derek Sankar, who is in charge of the bal­lis­tic room.

Lewis then re­port­ed the mat­ter to the po­lice. (JL)
