Ag CoP tells FUL holders to properly secure weapons to avoid theft

Acting Police Commissioner McDonald Jacob is calling on Firearm Users’ Licence (FUL) holders to act responsibly with their legal guns and take the necessary precautions to secure the weapons to avoid them falling into the hands of criminals.

Responding to a question on the adjournment of the Senate on Tuesday, National Security Minister Fitzgerald Hinds reported that 108 legally-issued guns were featured in serious crimes including four murders.

Jacob confirmed the figure given and noted that of the 108, 18 were recovered by the police. He said the FUL holders were either robbed of the guns or lost them.
