Patterdale Terrier Posted July 4, 2023 Report Share Posted July 4, 2023 Firearms checks have been carried out across Cumbria by police Operation Crosshair saw specialist officers visit five Firearms certificate holders in the county. They were chosen as a result of intelligence received regarding potential firearm certificate breaches, as well as association with illegal drug use. Officers checked the firearms were present and correctly and safely stored, they also carried out drugs wipe checks with certificate holders to ensure their judgement and self-control was not impaired. Three were passed as having met the requirements of their firearms certificate, including proper storage of the firearms and provided a negative drugs wipe. One was identified as further action required as the firearms had been moved to a new address without proper notice having been given. The new address was visited and the firearms located in a secure, locked cabinet. The fifth person visited failed a drugs wipe for cannabis and the decision was taken to revoke the firearms certificate. They voluntarily surrendered their firearm to officers.
