From: "Tim Jeffreys", [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sorry if I've missed any OCR cock-ups: ------------------------------------------------- Crooks may use stolen firearms POLICE fear guns stolen from a gamekeeper's home could fall into the hands of dangerous criminals. The firearms - three shotguns and three rifles - were taken during a burglary at a house in Barn Close, Denchworth, near Wantage. And police fear that if the lethal weapons are sold, they could be used to commit other crimes. They have urged members of the public to contact officers if they see the weapons - a .243 Zastava, a .22/250 Remington, a .22 Krico with silencer, a 12 bore Breda semiautomatic shotgun and two 12 bore Browning over-and-under shotguns - or hear of them being offered for sale. Fears The guns, which have been valued at L6,000 in total, were licensed and used legitimately by keeper Robert Beasant to shoot deer, foxes, rabbits and pigeons. Pc John Penrith, of Wantage police, said: "It is possible these guns could be offered for sale. It is also possible they could be used to commit, crimes. We are not ruling out the possibility. Shotguns are frequently used in armed robberies. "It is hard to say what they were stolen for, but if anyone has any information, they can pass it on to us in confidence." Call police on 01235 776048 with any information about the whereabouts of the guns. -- I can just see someone walking into a Post Office with a .243 under their jacket! Steve.
