(26th september) A BOLT used to convert a semi-automatic weapon into an automatic firearm was intercepted by Customs between August 31 and September 1.
The item was allegedly labelled a "marine part" and mailed from the US to an address north of Brisbane.

The discovery led to last thursdays (sept 17th) raid, where Inspecter Magarry operates a private armory business.
Customs and Border Protection officers, police from the Weapons Licensing Branch and the Australian Defence Force's Explosives Ordnance Demolition team were all involved in the raid.

Items seized during the raid were reported as including firearms and firearm parts, ammunition, documents and computers and a van. Insp Magarry is also being questioned over his alleged possession of a fully automatic Steyr assault rifle, a type of firearm used by the ADF.
Several, possibly replica, ADF items were also found, including a Kevlar military helmet and body armour.
The Courier Mail states that Customs has confirmed Insp Magarry is being investigated over the alleged unlawful importation of firearm parts.

The abc reports that Queensland Police Commisioner, Bob Atkinson indicated the QPS would "revisit" the decision to allow Insp Magarry to operate a private armory business. "Following this, as part of our own investigation into these allegations, that will be something that will be reviewed and be revisited."

Insp Magarry took sick leave "very soon" after the raid.
He reportedly produced a medical certificate to say he was too stressed to be interviewed.

Customs is yet to question the officer and a QPS spokeswoman refused to say if he had been interviewed – only that he was assisting the Ethical Standards Command.

President of the Queensland Police Commissioned Officers Union, Detective Superintendent Tony Cross said there was a "slight chance" the matter would be raised at the next executive meeting. "I understand the allegations are outside the ambit of his work," Det-Supt Cross said.

Insp Allen Magarry was appointed as the Water Police State Co-ordinator this year after a stint with the Ethical Standards Command.

Just what is this Ethical Standards Command? According to the Queensland Police web site it is;

"Ethical Standards Command... Members of the community have the right to expect the Queensland Police Service to serve them in an ethical and accountable manner. The responsibility of ensuring that the Service conducts its affairs in an ethical manner is vested in all members of the Service and is a core function of the Ethical Standards Command. The goal of the Command is to ensure that the community has confidence in and respect for the Service. This is achieved through the activities of the Internal Investigations Branch, Inspectorate and Evaluation Branch, Ethical Practice Branch, Internal Audit, Research and Evaluation Unit and Intelligence Unit. The Command also works closely with the Crime and Misconduct Commission and other statutory bodies to achieve its aims."
