The Independent Police Conduct Authority has found that multiple failings, led to the disappearance of nine guns from an Auckland (police) station two years ago and an undisclosed out of court payment has been made to the complainant.
The nine lawfully held guns were "surrendered to police" following a "prohibition order" relating to a domestic disagreement .. but when the complainant went to WAITEMATA police to retrieve his property they were missing and had not been recorded onto the "Exhibits Register".
All legal firearms owners are aware that Police threaten to prosecute them for breach of security should they be the victim of burglary or theft of their lawful property.

P.S. The latest report regarding the 11 guns stolen from Palmerston North Police HQ suggests that two of these stolen guns have now been freshly discovered in a security audit held there. This is confusing as there was reportedly only one remaining gun un-recovered .. so does this audit discovery mean that there was in reality 13 guns "stolen" or only nine? - or any other number in between?
"We can now confirm that two of the firearms thought to be still outstanding have now been accounted for as part of an internal audit. This means there is one firearm outstanding, which police remains focused on locating," police deputy commissioner districts John Tims said.
