Cheshire Police have asked us to make everyone aware that they have intelligence that – in the Greater Manchester Area – members of target shooting clubs may be being followed home from the club by criminals from orgainsed crime groups, with a view to stealing guns from their cars or homes.

I know you are all aware of this possibility particularly at Sealand but thankfully all our venues are in places which make it obvious if someone was waiting to follow us, but be alert to the risk!

How many crimes are committed with rifles I can’t say, but sawn-off shotguns might be making a come-back. Either way, we don’t want to lose our valuable firearms!
