Firearms taken from Palmerston North police station
Palmerston North police have been left red-faced after firearms were stolen from their central police station, sparking a manhunt for the alleged offender.
Various properties have since been searched by the armed offenders squad to find the 11 unaccounted-for guns.
The burglary happened early on Anzac Day, when the offender was disturbed in the station yard at 7.40am. He left the scene in a vehicle, which has since been recovered.
But police are still hunting Alan James Harris, a 38-year-old male European with short cropped hair, a dark beard and of slender build.
Anyone with information that could help the enquiry team is urged to contact Palmerston North Police immediately on (06) 351 3600.
Information can also be provided anonymously via Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
