Both the Captain and the Warrant Officer at the stores were new and no proper handover was done for either of them when they arrived to take over these functions. There were firearms in the store that were written off for destruction but no corresponding destruction instructions could be found. Most of the evidence firearms were not in evidence bags and many of the evidence bags had been opened even though they had not yet been sent to Ballistics. Scraps of paper were being used instead of proper labels.
