Firearms taken out of circulation
More than 110 firearms were surrendered in the Devon and Cornwall area as part of the latest national firearms surrender.
Among the haul are nine imitation firearms, as well as a significant amount of ammunition and component parts
The national campaign was instigated by the National Ballistics Intelligence Service (NaBIS).
Assistant chief constable Julie Fielding said: “As a result of this firearms surrender, all of these items are now permanently out of potential circulation.
"While not every firearm is owned with the intent of criminal activity, every firearm can become a weapon in the wrong hands. Removing the guns from circulation reduces the risk of danger to public safety.
“The campaign was an opportunity for anyone to hand in illegal, unregistered or unwanted firearms without risk of arrest at the point of surrender, and while the campaign is now over, I would still encourage anyone in possession of a firearm or ammunition that they no longer want to contact us for safe disposal.”
