    Exeter people turn in their guns

    Amnesty brings in a number of items, including a bladed lobster-shaped device who's pincers look lethal

    A revolver, air rifles and shotgun ammunition are amongst the items handed in at Heavitree Road police station on the first two days of a firearms amnesty.

    Officers are asking for people to turn in guns and ammunition that they may have hanging around - perhaps from an inheritance or former armed service.

    The amnesty means no-one will be arrested for illegal possession when they hand them in.

    An intruging bladed device in the shape of a lobster has also been surrendered in Exeter - even though it's not a firearm.

    The amnesty goes on till the end of next week.
