Three firearm collection days are taking place in the Tauranga this weekend.
From Friday September 27 to Sunday September 29, police are encouraging those who still yet to hand in their firearms to do so at the Trustpower Stadium Lounge, from 9am to 1pm.
A police spokesperson says if you can't make the collection event, firearm holders also have the option of going to their local dealer to hand-in firearms and parts.
'Contact your local dealer to make a booking before you go.”
Firearm owners can now also apply for compensation if they own a unique firearm, part or accessory.
Information on criteria, cost and how to apply is now available on the police website.
You can also modify some prohibited firearms – the police website has information on modifications and a list of approved gunsmiths.
Police are also encouraging firearm holders to keep an eye on the police website for more upcoming collection events.
A new batch of dates will be available shortly, taking collection events up until the end of the amnesty and buy-back on December 20 2019.
For more information go to www.police.govt.nz or call 0800 311 311.
