The firearms stolen are a Colt 45 ACP Pistol, Smith & Wesson 357 Magnum Revolver, Glock 40 Smith & Wesson Auto Pistol, Hammerli .22 Pistol, Smith & Wesson 44 Remington Magnum, Walther .22 Pistol, Hammerli .38s Pistol, CBC 22 Hornet Rifle, Sharp Innova 177 Air Rifle, Stirling 410 Bore Shotgun, Marlin 30-30 Winchester Rifle, Anschutz .22 Rifle, Feinwerkbau 177 Air Pistol, and Glock 9M Pistol.

No ammunition was reported missing.

Albany Detectives are asking anyone with information on the burglary, the whereabouts of the firearms, or any suspicious attempts to sell firearms matching the descriptions provided to call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or report the information online at www.crimestopperswa.com.au.

The burglary is the second major firearm theft in the region this year after 12 firearms went missing from a Frankland River property in February.
