A report by the Integrity Commission (IC) into the operations of the Firearm Licensing Authority (FLA) has uncovered the intentional manipulation of official digital records, inventory management failures, and the loss of critical electronic evidence following a server failure.

The 131-page report, tabled in Parliament on Tuesday eight weeks after it was first submitted at the end of March and only after a court ruling, details how official records were altered inside the FLA’s Licence Management System (LMS), the core platform used to track firearm ownership, ammunition purchases and dealer inventory flows.

According to the report, former database administrator Shevon Robinson manually inserted false transactions into a dealer’s system profile without any written request from the dealer or formal authorisation. The findings indicate the entries were not clerical errors but a deliberate attempt to create ghost transactions, making it appear that legitimate sales and purchases had occurred and that missing items were “accounted for” in the system.
