An airgun and fishing tackle shop in Truro has been burgled and suffered the loss of a number of airguns. The shop’s owners have released the serial numbers of the stolen property to help alert the shooting community.

Carnon Downs Garden Centre was burgled at some point between closing for the day on 25th May and opening again on 26th May, according to a Facebook post from the firm.

“None of the [air]guns had fill valves, many had missing magazines and all the Hawke scopes were without boxes and mounts,” said the shop’s management. This means that even in the hands of miscreants, the airguns will be impossible to operate.
Full list of serial numbers and link to the Facebook post below - well worth sharing the Facebook post amongst fellow shooters.

That's a pretty long list.
Must have taken several people a while to get at and transport that amount.

It was in a garden centre, so they're usually well stocked with trollies making the transport element easy I would think.
