The first firearms collection event takes place at Riccarton Racecourse this Saturday 13 July and Sunday 14 July, providing firearms owners the initial opportunity of many to hand-in prohibited firearms for buy-back and amnesty.
This is one of 258 events that will run across the country over the next 3 months.
Deputy Commissioner Mike Clement says Police recognise this is a big change for the law abiding firearms community. “We want to work with firearms owners to make this process as seamless as possible during the buy-back and amnesty period.”
