Gun owners urged to secure arms after theft

GARDAÍ have warned gun enthusiasts to ensure their weapons are properly secured after three firearms, including a Glock semi-automatic pistol, were stolen from a house in north Cork.

A senior garda spokesman said gardaí were worried that the guns might have fallen into the hands of a criminal gang.

The Austrian-made Glock 17 pistol was stolen along with a rifle and shotgun from a house in Mallow.
