Chance to hand in guns

TASMANIA Police and Crime Stoppers are holding a firearm amnesty in southern Tasmania on Saturday and calling on people to hand in unwanted or illegal firearms and ammunition.

Senior Sergeant Ben Duffey said he also encourages those in possession of weapons that imitate firearms, such as gelblasters, to surrender them.

The operation will be conducted at Sorell Memorial Hall between 10am and 2pm on Saturday.
