TIGHTCHOKE Posted July 8, 2022 Report Share Posted July 8, 2022 Strange they were stolen on the 27th of May and reported missing on the 7th of July! From the Surrey police website; We are appealing for the public’s help to find two firearms which were stolen from a trade stand at the Phoenix Festival held at the National Shooting Centre, Bisley on 27 May. The theft was reported to police today (7 July). The two guns officers are trying to trace are both Browning Buckmark .22 calibre Long Pistols. Officers are urging the public to come forward if they have any information as to where they might be. Detective Sergeant Matthew Stickland, who is investigating the case, said: “We have been carrying out a number of enquiries as to the whereabouts of the guns and I would like to reassure the public that we are doing all we can to trace them. “If you have seen these weapons and have any idea as to where they might be, having perhaps overheard a conversation, please get in touch with us straight away.” If you have any information, please contact us quoting PR/45220071896 via: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I was to guess, I would say the trade stand staff didn’t notice they were missing, and at a stock take or similar have now noticed they are gone, panicked like mad, searched everywhere, can’t find them, and have decided they must have been stolen, so called the Police in an attempt to cover their behinds! Just speculating of course … Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just speculating of course … Really? If you ran a stand such as this do you really think that you wouldn’t notice two pistols missing? They weren’t selling/displaying a barrel full of golf balls but Pistols of which I’m sure they didn’t have hundreds on display. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluesj Posted July 8, 2022 Report Share Posted July 8, 2022 off at a tangent a biy I saw a peace about someone from the army was sell 9mm ammo at what worked out to just under £20 a pop so i would think a working hand gun would fetch good money.

Scully Posted July 8, 2022 Report Share Posted July 8, 2022 I’m assuming they weren’t secured with cables then, like every firearm I’ve ever seen on trade stands? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey if you’ve got a better theory of why they waited 10 days before reporting them missing / stolen feel free to share it 🤷♂️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
