Firearms amnesty begins today

Sat, 20 Jul 2019

From today you can surrender any firearms to police without fear of consequence.

The Isle of Man Constabulary is operating a firearm surrender scheme in a bid to prevent unwanted guns and ammunition falling into the wrong hands.

The force is taking part in a national surrender scheme from today with officers urging people to hand in their weapons and ammunition to help make the Island's streets safer.

The surrender scheme will run from today until Sunday, August 4.

During that time members of the public can dispose of their firearms and will not face prosecution for illegal possession.
