900 rifles allegedly missing from PNP storage facility

How could this have happened?

“Even before some 900 missing rifles could be accounted for, the Philippine National Police (PNP) is reportedly trying to find firearms that disappeared from the storage facilities of the Firearms and Explosives Office (FEO) at Camp Crame,” reports Cecille Suerte Felipe in The Philippine Star.

According to the report, “a senior police officer at the FEO’s investigation division confirmed that there is an ongoing investigation but refused to divulge more information.”

But, the report added, another FEO officer claimed that no firearms are missing from the storage facilities. The officer, who was not named, indicated that “the investigation was meant to put order in the disposal and releasing of firearms kept in the storage facilities.”

So, which is it?
