Four people allegedly steal police firearm and ammunition in Townsville
ABCPolice are urgently searching for four people they allege stole a firearm and ammunition from an unmarked police car in Townsville in the early hours of Sunday morning. "Police are currently undertaking a significant operation to try and bring those offenders into custody and to locate the firearm and ammunition," Townsville District Officer Chief Superintendent Graeme Paine said. 'A significant concern' Chief Superintendent Paine refused to go into detail about the make and model of the stolen police-issued firearm, citing operational reasons for not revealing the manner in which it was stored. Police said the two stolen vehicles could be travelling together, and urged anyone who may have seen them in and around Townsville city Sunday morning to contact police.
