Manhunt on for NSW Police employee Alan James Cumberland regarding firearms offences Alan James Cumberland, 38, is an armourer with the NSW Police Force and is being sought following a search warrant conducted at his home in the Tuggerah Lakes region. Picture: Police Media Source: Supplied A NSW Police Force employee accused of stealing weaponry from a police armoury is on the run. Police are hunting Alan James Cumberland, an armourer with the force, after a large number of weapons, ammunition and firearms parts were found in his Central Coast home. Police executed a search warrant on Mr Cumberland's Berkley Vale home on Thursday afternoon after he had been identified as a "person of interest," but he could not be found. Firearms and Organised Crime Squad Commander, Detective Superintendent Ken Finch, said the total number of "misappropriated" weapons had not yet been tallied, but a number of firearms parts, ammunition of various calibers, machining equipment and prohibited weapons were seized. A registered rifle remains unaccounted for. He had access to everything in the course of his work. I couldn't go into specifics, but as an armourer, he would have access to weaponry that is utilised by the NSW Police force. As an armourer, it's likely that he did [have access to high end weapons]," Supt Finch said. Supt Finch refused to confirm if Mr Cumberland had supplied weapons to criminals, saying police were still investigating.
