The court heard Girven was suffering with mental health issues and had been self-medicating with alcohol and cannabis. He needed the extra cash to maintain his addictions while he and his partner cared for their three children. The first theft was of a $2500 Bruno 30-06 firearm on February 19 and a $7000 Remington 700 rifle on March 8. Girven was working with police following their initial questions, but the rifles were yet to be recovered, Northwood said. These firearms are still on the loose somewhere. We can only hope they haven t been used in a gang war somewhere, we can only hope they haven t been used to shoot somebody.
