Queensland Police have been mercilessly taunted after losing a dangerous explosive and asking the public for help finding it.

A stun grenade went missing after police were involved in a 10-hour siege in the Townsville suburb of Kirwan on Monday.

The siege ended with the discovery of the body of a gunman and the police later carried out an audit of their specialist and discovered that the grenade was missing.

Officers searched the street for the grenade but were unable to find it and have now appealed to the public for help.

“The device is not a lethal device, but it does have the ability to cause injury to a nearby person if the device is mishandled,” they said in a statement.

“Members of the public who have information about the location of this device may not be aware of the importance of such equipment and are urged not to handle it and call the police immediately.”

The public appeal sparked ridicule online.

One person said: “It’s nice to know these are properly secured inside the vehicles.”

A second said: “I think the police forgot that they are meant to keep dangerous weapons off the streets.”

While a third added: ‘It doesn’t look good at all. And they don’t trust us, law-abiding citizens, with guns. I hope you are. In the wrong hands they can be lethal.

The siege ended with the discovery of the body of an armed man and then the police carried out an audit of their specialist and discovered that the grenade was missing.

Another said: ‘And these are the people who are supposed to protect the public?’

Police said they would review how the device was lost during the siege, which began after a man fired multiple shots at nearby houses, a car and police vehicles late Sunday.

The shots left bullet holes in the windshields and panels of five vehicles that investigators believe officers were in when the gun was fired.

Police have not detailed what type of weapon was used and have confirmed that officers did not respond.

The emergency order was rescinded at 6:45 a.m. after police entered the home and found a 50-year-old man dead.

No one else was injured.
