Scare gun returned
A STOLEN scare gun used to protect crops has been anonymously returned to a Tolga farmer in what has been deemed to be a positive outcome.
Positive outcome: The stolen scare gun has now been returned to its rightful owner.
The gun was returned after a story was published in The Express on 20 March.
Joe Trimarchi, of Redhill Farming, said the scare gun was discovered adjacent to the corn crop on one of the nearby headlands on the morning of 24 March 2024 around 8.30am by his son, Anthony.
The theft had been the third setback to Joe’s crop after it was severely attacked by fall armyworms and then ravaged by cockatoos.
Joe said he would like to thank police for all their help.
“I am pleased it (the gun) has been returned,” he said.
“I would like to thank the Far North District Rural and Stock Crime Squad for their immediate response and their thorough approach to investigating the matter.”
