A potential privacy breach has caused New Zealand Police to shut down an online notification platform for the gun buy-back scheme. NZ Police said they have been advised of a potential issue from a member of the public and are investigating the matter further. A form on the police website was closed down which would allow gun owners to provide information ahead of handing in their firearms as part of the country’s buy-back scheme. The information reportedly included details about licensed firearms owners and their bank account numbers. Image: Getty
