This is considered newsworthy because, prior to world war 2, (elected) far right extremists were stockpiling massive amounts of munitions via various coverup schemes. It was part of a secret government plan to prepare for world war 2 in spite of treaties forbidding these actions. It makes for some interesting historical reading, and is probably why the government will be so eager to show it’s investigating and preventing it in the future. That said, 60k bullets is not a lot. It would be only really be newsworthy if they actually found evidence of theft. In 1 year there will be some report about sloppy accounting during training exercises for that particular unit
