40 'strawbuyers' weeded out in fire arm selling investigation

An ongoing investigation into people with legitimate fire arms licences buying up guns and hocking them off to criminals has weeded out almost forty alleged "strawbuyers' so far. Among them two former gunstore employees. In a painstaking operation police have been trawling through three years of handwriten sales records for more than 360 thousand individual gun sales, across 390 stores. The boss of the National Organised Crime Goup, Detective Superintendent, Greg Williams said its a complex and ongoing investigation.
