Former Tauranga city
councillor and businessman Bradley Keith Shipton yesterday changed his plea
to guilty on a charge of unlawfully possessing a 1911 model .45 Colt pistol. The Tauranga District
Court heard that the World War II memento, was found in a roof cavity in the
garage of Shipton's home. Judge Michael Hobbs is expected to sentence the
former detective tomorrow. Shipton had been asked
by the family of the man who brought the pistol home to dispose of it in
2001. |
