Police warn public after firearms are stolen from house

Two metal cabinets containing a number of guns were taken during a break-in at a house.

Police would not say exactly how many guns, or what type, were taken during the daylight break-in at the house on the outskirts of Newburgh, Fife.

Officers were called to the property on Thursday night when the theft was discovered.

Detective Sergeant Alan Stewart, of Fife Constabulary, said: "Amongst other items stolen were two metal gun cabinets which contained a number of legally held firearms. It would appear that the thieves have gone to great effort to steal these firearms. Clearly we are concerned that these weapons have been removed from the property and have the potential to pose a risk to public safety."
