More than 300 rounds of police ammunition has gone missing while in transit between Auckland and Wellington.
A police spokesperson confirmed to the Herald that a freight company reported the loss of ammunition on Thursday.
“The amount of ammunition missing is believed to be 10 packets containing a total of 320 rounds from a larger consignment of ammunition,” the spokesperson said.
The missing ammunition was destined for police. It left Auckland on September 28, and upon arrival the following day it was noticed that a carton containing the ammunition was open.
