‘Elderly’ man hands over nine guns in amnesty

Nine firearms have been handed in to police by an “elderly” man as part of an amnesty.

The Fife resident turned in the weapons – which included a pistol from the First World War – and ammunition on Friday at Glenrothes Police Station.

It comes from the force’s Firearms Surrender Campaign, which runs until Sunday.

Chief Superintendent Colin Gall said: “This campaign is about removing dangerous weapons from the street to reduce the amount of illegally held firearms within the public arena”
