Gun stolen at security guard conference

You'd think the last place that thieves would want to strike, would be at a gathering of security guards.

However, brazen thieves have stolen a pistol that was on display at a security guard conference on the Gold Coast.

It was taken from a locked display cabinet some time yesterday at the Gold Coast Convention Centre, police said.

The theft was reported to police at 7pm when other weapons on display were signed back into the armoury.
