CAUTION: This email originated from outside of the organization. Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe.

Dear New Zealand Police,

This NZ Herald article refers: https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/crime/gun-...

'Since 2021, authorities have been given data from 240,000 gun sales at commercial retailers dating back to 2019'.

I request the number of firearms used in criminal activities that have been recovered that Police have linked to a commercial sale since 2021, by month and Police district.

I request the number of licensed firearms owners charged in relation to the diversion of commercially purchased firearms, by month and Police district.

Yours faithfully,

George
