Police are hunting thieves who stole three high-powered rifles from a Warwick home.

Worried Police are now urging licensed gun owners to take their weapons to Warwick Camp for an audit to ensure no other weapons are missing.

The high-calibre weapons were taken in their black, locked boxes from Longtail Drive but no ammunition was taken in the same raid on Tuesday.

The owner said he had locked the home at 10 a.m. only to return to find the home ransacked at 4.30 p.m. Jewellery, cash and food were also taken.

The weapons are:

One .30 calibre Garrand semi-automatic rifle (Second World War vintage)

One 7.62 calibre single shot Paramount competition rifle

One 7.62 calibre single shot Hall competition rifle
