Mr. Drew Harris:

I will just clarify that in effect there are two different situations here. The weapon used on 1 June at the shopping centre was a weapon that had been stolen in a burglary. A second weapon has also been recovered, together with an imitation or replica firearm. We do not know the provenance of them, where they were or how those were obtained.
