Hatfield is asking about stolen bullets from Miranda Police Station.
Lamarre-Condon says he can't recall when he took the "non-operational rounds", but it could have been "some point in January".
"I just know it was before the first of February."
He says on January 21, 2023 he discussed hearing of an officer taking a shell casing to "frame".

New sim card order month before alleged murders
By Millie Roberts
By Millie Roberts
We're looking at an invoice for amaysim, for a sim card order the accused bought in January 15, 2023.
He says he ordered it online and it came via express post.
"I wasn't specifically in a rush to get it ... it had nothing to do with Jesse Baird," he says.
He tells court he was collating statements from serving officers about "bullying from a certain sergeant".
"I was wanting to go compile all these statements and go to the media."
Using his phone and being found out would make him a "target" he says.
"I was very, very worried and concerned ... [about] speaking publicly," he says, and it "coming back to me".
Data retrieval technology question
By Millie Roberts
By Millie Roberts
To kickstart the morning, Hatfield has begun asking Lamarre-Condon about asking questions about technology called Cellbrite in January 2023.
Cellbrite programs are used to retrieve data from devices.
The accused says he was enquiring because he was working towards a senior position in the police force, which involved tracking drug dealers' phones.
Lamarre-Condon says he asked about Snapchat data specifically because parents had asked him about it in relation to their kids.
