The Police’s second Orewa gun buy back and amnesty, held last month, again produced a good haul of weapons.

There were buy back events at Sharks Sports Club in Victor Eaves Reserve, Orewa on August 11 and September 22. Numbers of gun owners, and weapons handed in, were similar at both events.

At the second event, a total of 128 gun owners handed in 217 firearms and 968 parts. At the first local buy back, 248 firearms and 1283 parts were handed in by 144 people.

Police say no further buy back events are planned for the Hibiscus Coast, however upcoming buy backs will be updated on the Police website: www.police.govt.nz/advice/firearms-and-safety/changes-firearms-law-prohibited-firearms/local-collection-events-amnesty.
