"Unloaded police firearm and Taser stolen during break-in, Miriam Vale
myPolice on Jun 10, 2021 @ 3:05pm
Detectives from Gladstone CIB are investigating after an unloaded police-issued firearm and Taser (similar to pictured) were stolen during an overnight break-in at the Miriam Vale Hotel.
Preliminary investigations indicate that sometime between 6.15pm yesterday (June 9) and 8.30am today (June 10) a locked hotel room was broken into and the unloaded Glock and unloaded Taser were stolen, as well as other personal items.
The ammunition and Taser cartridge, stored separately in the room, were not stolen.
Detectives are appealing for members of the public who may have witnessed anyone acting suspiciously in the vicinity of Blomfield Street overnight to contact them.
Anyone who locates the firearm or Taser is advised not to touch them and immediately call Triple Zero (000).
A concurrent internal investigation by the Operations Support Command is underway, with oversight by the Ethical Standards Command."
So, consequences for the police officer involved, prosecution? loss of access to firearms? or just colleagues laugh at them for a while and in this case probably replacement firearms issued the next day?
The last one seems to be the standard police response to one of their own whether it's failure to secure or negligent discharge or any other offence that would bring significant consequences for a licensed civilian.
