Specialist officers from Hampshire Constabulary are continuing their hunt for 2 shotguns that were stolen from a shooting centre at Tapnell Farm over the weekend.
Police have been carrying out investigations following the theft of 2 guns from Top Targets on Saturday, as first reported by Island Echo.
3 men from London – a 21-year-old man, a 24-year-old man and a 25-year-old man – were all arrested on suspicion of theft on Monday. It has now been confirmed that the trio have been released on conditional bail.
The firearms involved are yet to be located following searches by specialist officers. It’s understood woodland in the area has been searched.
It remains unclear where exactly the guns were stored and by what means they were stolen.
Anyone who has any information that could assist Police with their enquiries is asked to call 101 quoting 44210262002.
Did the police ask them what they had done with the guns after they stole them?
Maybe they should have said “Take us to where you dumped the guns” before they let them off on bail – just a thought!
Probably have already been picked up and in London by now. Should have kept them in custody until they revealed all………yeah I know, the Police are only allowed a certain amount of time. Keep ’em locked up and give them only bread and water to eat, haha. Oh no say the snowflakes!!!!!
Good god, did I read this correctly? They bailed the suspects BEFORE they retrieved the stolen weapons!
in the words of Victor Meldrew…..I don’t believe it
What’s the chance we never see the guns or the alleged suspects again
The world has truly gone mad!!! They should not have been released on bail until they disclosed where the guns were and the guns had been retrieved!!
