Manhunt for police armourer NSW Police are searching for one of their own, civilian armourer Alan James Cumberland. Police have launched a statewide search for a NSW Police employee wanted for allegedly taking weaponry from a police armoury and other serious firearms offences. Police said on Friday that Alan James Cumberland, 38, is an armourer with the force and is being sought after a large number of weapons were found at his Central Coast home on Thursday. ""He's been misappropriating weapons and weapons parts from the facility,"" a police spokesman said. Police believe Mr Cumberland might have access to firearms as a registered rifle and rifle receiver remain unaccounted for. At the Tuggerah Lakes property, police executed a search warrant and found weapons suspected of being misappropriated, as well as firearms parts, ammunition of various calibres, machining equipment and prohibited weapons. Police said the search warrant, which was ongoing, was one of four conducted by the Firearms and Organised Crime Squad on Thursday as part of an investigation into organised crime. A machine gun, ammunition and cash were seized at a property at Bonnells Bay south of Newcastle and a silencer was located at a property at Lalor Park in Sydney's west. Two men have already been charged in relation to those seizures. Police said detectives had made numerous unsuccessful attempts to contact and locate Mr Cumberland. They're asking anyone with information about his whereabouts to contact them.
