National says the Police Minister needs to front up over whether police paid to have firearms stolen from the Palmerston North station returned.
Eleven guns, including some handed in as part of the amnesty on now illegal firearms, were taken from the station, after a back door was left open.
National says it understands some, if not all of the retrieved firearms were bought back by police - an accusation both Police, and the Police Minister would neither confirm, nor deny.
RNZ political reporter Yvette McCullough has the story.
