Probe as gun and ammunition go missing from Garda station

THE Garda Commissioner has appointed a senior garda to investigate a missing firearm and ammunition from Tipperary Garda Station.

The revolver, along with what is believed to be up to 60 rounds of ammunition, was recorded as missing from a secure area where firearms are stored at the station during an audit last week.

Chief Superintendent Michael McGarry from the Kilkenny division has been asked to investigate the disappearance of the .38-calibre Smith and Wesson gun and ammunition.
