Gun buyback events on the West Coast

Nicole Mathewson Reporter from The Press

Gun buyback and amnesty collections will be held on the West Coast this week.

The first event is in Fox Glacier Community Centre on Friday (July 19) from 9am to 12pm.

The second event is in Hokitika on Saturday (July 20) at Seaview Lodge from 10am to 2pm.

The third event is in Greymouth on Sunday (July 21) at the Cobden League Club from 9am to 12.30pm.

Police said they are supporting firearms owners to hand-in either prohibited firearms or firearms under amnesty at a local collection event as part of the Arms (Prohibited Firearms, Parts and Magazines) Amendment Act 2019.

More than 250 buyback events will be held around the country before the amnesty period ends on December 20.
