With less than two months to go, time is running out for firearms holders to hand in their prohibited firearms and parts.
For those in Palmerston North, there will be two collection events on this week.
The events will be held on Thursday 24 October and Friday 25 October at Awapuni Racecourse.
Thursday’s event will be from 1pm-7pm and Friday’s from 9am-12 noon.
Police-run collection events are just one way of participating in the amnesty and buy-back.
Other options include hand ins at approved dealers, bulk pick-ups if you have more than 10 firearms and/or 50 parts, or handing in to a Police station.
For those wishing to hand in at a dealer, there are 41 dealers currently available to receive prohibited firearms as part of the amnesty and buy-back.
There is also the option of having some prohibited firearms modified and a list of police-approved gunsmiths is also available on the police website.
For more information, or to seek help with the process, please visit Police website or call 0800 311 311.
