Firearms taken from Palmerston North police station
Palmerston North police have been left red-faced after firearms were stolen from their central police station, sparking a manhunt for the alleged offender.
Various properties have since been searched by the armed offenders squad to find the 11 unaccounted-for guns.
The burglary happened early on Anzac Day, when the offender was disturbed in the station yard at 7.40am. He left the scene in a vehicle, which has since been recovered.
But police are still hunting Alan James Harris, a 38-year-old male European with short cropped hair, a dark beard and of slender build.
Anyone with information that could help the enquiry team is urged to contact Palmerston North Police immediately on (06) 351 3600.
Information can also be provided anonymously via Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
