The po­lice in­ves­ti­ga­tion in­to the dis­cov­ery of a cache of miss­ing firearms and am­mu­ni­tion from the San Fer­nan­do Mu­nic­i­pal Po­lice Sta­tion, on the night po­lice cor­po­ral Anus­ka Ever­s­ley was al­so mur­dered, King’s Wharf, has now widened to in­clude the dis­cov­ery of yet an­oth­er set of miss­ing guns – this time, from the of­fice of the may­or.
