West Mercia Police gun surrender snares 182 weapons
A total of 182 weapons have been handed in to West Mercia Police as part of its firearms surrender operation.
The campaign is part of a national operation to reduce gun crime and runs across the West Mercia and Warwickshire policing areas until Sunday, November 16.
It gives anyone living in the area who owns a firearm the opportunity to surrender the weapon at their local police station.
People who surrender weapons will not be required to leave any information – but if police suspect the weapon may have been involved in a crime, they will examine the gun for evidence.
Shrewsbury has received the highest number of firearms with 34. Telford has received 30. West Mercia and Warwickshire Police have received 263 firearms in total.
