Three prohibited firearms collection events in Christchurch

3:33 October 9, 2019 PressReleaseComments Off on Three prohibited firearms collection events in Christchurch

Press Release – New Zealand Police

Police will be holding three prohibited firearms and parts collection events in Christchurch this weekend.

They will be held on Saturday 12 October, Sunday 13 October and Monday 14 October at the Caledonian Society, 5 Michelle Road, in Wigram.

On Saturday and Sunday the events will be from 10am-2pm, and Monday from 2pm-6pm.

The amnesty and buy-back ends on 20 December 2019 and people will only be eligible for compensation if they surrender their firearms during that period.

Police are encouraging people to hand-in their firearms now before it’s too late.

If you have any doubt whether your firearm is prohibited or not, please contact Police on 0800 311 311 or check the Police website.

Handing in prohibited firearms and parts at a Police-run collection event is just one way of participating in the amnesty and buy-back.

Other options include hand-ins at approved dealers, bulk pick-ups if you have more than 10 firearms and/or 50 parts, or handing in to a Police station.

There are 41 approved licensed dealers around the country (including some in Christchurch) that can accept prohibited firearms and parts on behalf of Police until mid-November.

A list of approved dealers is on Police’s website.

Also note that some firearms with non-detachable tubular magazines can be modified and a list of Police-approved gunsmiths and what you need to know, is on Police’s website.

If firearm owners have a prohibited item that is rare, unique and/or has been modified in a way that the value of the item is significant, then they can apply for compensation under Unique Prohibited.

Once again people can find more information about this on our website, including a list of Police-approved valuers.

It is important to complete the online notification form on Police’s website first, indicating your hand-in preference.
