Wanted man ... Malcolm John Naden. Source: The Daily Telegraph FUGITIVE Malcolm Naden is armed with a semi-automatic rifle and ammunition stolen from a Gloucester farmer's hut.
Police made the disturbing revelation late yesterday, issuing a warning to the public to remain vigilant given Naden's willingness to use firearms to avoid capture.
The .22 calibre rifle, which has a 10-round magazine and an effective range of 200m, was stolen from a hut late last month, along with food, blankets and other equipment.
The Daily Telegraph has been told the hut was one of several fitted with motion sensors as part of police efforts to catch Naden, but he slipped away before officers arrived. Fingerprints were found at the hut and police yesterday confirmed they belonged to Naden.
"Investigations by Strike Force Durkin have revealed Malcolm Naden is in possession of firearms, including a .22 calibre semi-automatic rifle, and ammunition," operation commander Assistant Commissioner Carlene York said.
"We are aware of his violent nature and willingness to use firearms to avoid capture."
Late last year, Naden fired a single shot at a senior-constable, striking him in the shoulder, as police closed in on and surrounded his campsite at Nowendoc, in the Barrington Tops region. More than $10 million has since been spent trying to catch the state's most wanted man.
Police defended their decision to take almost three weeks to alert the public to the possibility Naden was armed, saying they needed to await the results of DNA testing.
The latest breakthrough in the Hunt for Naden is likely to see police step up their efforts, with new details of his movements and whereabouts.
Last week, Naden became outran notorious bushranger Captain Thunderbolt's effort at eluding police for the most amount of time.
He is wanted by police over the strangulation murder of one Dubbo woman, Kristy Scholes, and the disappearance of another, Lateesha Nolan, in 2005.
He is also wanted over the attempted murder of the police officer, on December 7 last year.
Assistant Commissioner York said Naden is an extremely dangerous man, and members of the community needed to ensure the security of their home and their family's safety was a priority.
Locals in the Nowendoc and Gloucester region last night said it wasn't uncommon for people to leave a .22 calibre rifle lying around in their huts for personal safety.
"There are so many huts in this area..that's what you'd keep for protection and you use it too for shooting kangaroos and rabbits," one local said.

Malcolm Naden ... armed.
NSW's most wanted man, Malcolm Naden, is now armed with a semi-automatic rifle, police say.
The fugitive, who holds the record for being on the run from authorities for the longest time since 1860s bushranger Captain Thunderbolt held the record, stole the gun from a property in the state's northern regions of Gloucester and Nowendoc.
Police are warning the public Malcolm Naden, wanted for an alleged murder at Dubbo and the alleged attempted murder of a police officer at Nowendoc, is an extremely dangerous man.
Advertisement: Story continues below Residents in the area have been told to steer well clear of him if he is seen.
NSW Police Assistant Commissioner, Carlene York, who heads the massive manhunt, has also urged gun owners to ensure all weapons and ammunition are safely secured in line with the law.
“Investigations by Strike Force Durkin have revealed Malcolm Naden is in possession of firearms, including a .22 calibre semi-automatic rifle, and ammunition.
"This is most concerning as we are aware of Naden's violent nature and his willingness to use firearms to avoid apprehension,” Assistant Commissioner York said.
Police said the rifle was stolen recently from a property with other food items and clothing.
“Strike Force investigators will evaluate the information we receive and respond accordingly.
“We are committed to locating this violent offender and the release of this new information, although concerning, reinforces our intentions to protect the community,” Assistant Commissioner York said.
An arrest warrant was issued for Naden in August 2005 after the body of Kristy Scholes, aged 24, was found at a Dubbo home on June 22, 2005.
A reward of $250,000 is being offered for information leading to the capture of Naden.
Anyone with information should phone Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

AAP © Enlarge photoFugitive Malcolm Naden is believed to have obtained a semi-automatic firearm and police are warning locals to avoid him at all costs.
The search for the accused murderer, on the run since 2005, was stepped up in early December when police were shot at near the village of Nowendoc in mid-northern NSW.
Police have been based at a Rural Fire Service station at Gloucester since January as part of a scaled-back operation.
On Monday they issued a warning after new information indicated Naden was armed with a .22-calibre semi-automatic firearm and ammunition, recently stolen from a property in the area along with food and clothing.
"This is most concerning as we are aware of Naden's violent nature and his willingness to use firearms to avoid apprehension," operation commander Assistant Commissioner Carlene York said in a statement.
Gloucester and Nowendoc residents are again being urged to ensure their personal safety and home security remain a priority.
Ms York said Naden was regarded as "an extremely dangerous man".
She also urged all owners of firearms in the area to secure their weapons in line with the law and report any suspicious activity.
"Strike force investigators will evaluate the information we receive and respond accordingly," Ms York said.
"We are committed to locating this violent offender and the release of this new information, although concerning, reinforces our intentions to protect the community."
A reward of $250,000 is in place for information leading to the capture of the former abattoir worker.
Naden has been eluding authorities since 2005, when he fled his grandparents' home in west Dubbo days after his 24-year-old cousin Kristy Scholes, a mother of two, was found strangled in his bedroom.
Naden is also suspected of involvement in the disappearance a few months earlier of another cousin, Lateesha Nolan, and the rape of a 15-year-old schoolgirl.
Naden is described as being 177cm tall with a medium build, brown eyes, short/cropped dark hair and a moustache.

Nine denies “bounty hunter” pursuit by 60 Minutes
By David Knox on February 21, 2012 / Filed Under News 1
The Nine Network has denied a media report which claims it has hired a ‘bounty hunter’ to track Malcolm John Naden (pictured), who is number one on the NSW Police Most Wanted List.Naden has been on the run since 2005 when an arrest warrant was issued for the murder of Kristy Scholes, aged 24, in Dubbo.
The NSW Government has issued a $250,000 reward for information that leads to Naden’s capture.
So far he has eluded police.
Yesterday the Daily Telegraph claimed, Nine “is believed to have hired a bounty hunter to track down the country’s most wanted man Malcolm Naden.
“In a controversial twist, the network is rumoured to have hired the controversial accused Sydney Harbour Bridge protester Michael Fox – the man who allegedly launched a protest last year against the Child Support Agency.”
But a Nine spokesperson told TV Tonight, “There is NO bounty hunter, no pursuit of Naden etc. That’s merely the preposterous invention of the Telegraph.
“60 (Minutes) IS doing a story on Naden and his incredible bush survival techniques and the merry dance he leads police upon. To do that they are relying on a consultant who with other experts can show them the ropes on bush survival.”
Charles Wooley’s story will appear on Sunday March 11.

Six years and 60 Minutes
25 Feb, 2012 04:00 AM
60 MINUTES is preparing to broadcast a major story on fugitive Malcolm Naden.The story, to be fronted by reporter Charles Wooley, is understood to be scheduled for March 11.Producer Danny Keens yesterday declined to confirm a definite broadcast date.
“At this stage we are still filming,’’ he told the Daily Liberal.
Naden has been on the run for more than six years. He is wanted on warrants for the January 2005 disappearance of Dubbo woman Lateesha Nolan, the June 2005 murder of her friend Kristy Scholes, a 2004 aggravated indecent assault on a teenaged girl and the December 2011 shooting of a police officer.
A $250,000 bounty has been offered to anyone who can help police catch Naden.
A 60 Minutes crew was in Dubbo last week to record segments for the Naden story.
Lateesha Nolan’s father, Mick Peet, was the focal point of filming.
60 Minutes flew Mr Peet and his wife and children from Bundaberg to be part of the program.
They arrived at Dubbo on Friday afternoon and were interviewed and photographed by the Daily Liberal.
At that time Mr Peet was unable to speak on the record about the 60 Minutes story because of contractual obligations.
Yesterday he spoke freely about the current affairs program and the pain of returning to his former home.
“Coming back to Dubbo was very difficult,’’ Mr Peet said.
“I tried my hardest to be strong but ended up breaking down in front of the camera crew.
“Charles Wooley was very good - he seemed to understand the agony we have lived every day since Lateesha disappeared.
“Walking along the Macquarie River where her wallet was found last October I experienced a really eerie feeling. I had visions of Lateesha being thrown into the water or buried in a makeshift grave.
“I hope and pray every day that Malcolm Naden will be taken in alive.
“He has already demonstrated a readiness to use firearms to evade arrest.
“I hope the hunt doesn’t end in a shoot-out because we need Naden to tell us what happened to Lateehsa.’’
Mr Peet and his family flew out of Dubbo on Monday morning.
They continue to monitor the manhunt from their Bundaberg home where 15kg of newspaper clippings collected over the past six years are stored in a large suitcase.
“I will never give up looking for Lateesha,’’ Mr Peet said.
“Continued media attention increases community awareness of the Naden manhunt. Hopefully someone will come forward with information that leads to his capture.’//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Father takes trip of remembrance

Her father Mick Peet travelled 1000 kilometres from Queensland yesterday to retrace his daughter’s steps in Dubbo, however painful.
Mr Peet is hoping to get a “feeling” for a lost daughter as he moves about the city.
The answers he seeks may be harder to come by.
