More than 6,000 guns were stolen over a recent two year period, according to police reports.



The figures were compiled by Gun Control Australia, based on Freedom of Information requests.



The group says the annual number of thefts has almost doubled since 2009.



But a top criminologist believes it's unlikely the stolen guns are finding their way into organised crime.
