Sussex Police is joining other forces in the country in a four-week Firearms Amnesty for five types of BRUNI-manufactured side or top venting blank firers or TVBFs. Tests by the National Crime Agency and policing have shown some BRUNI models are readily convertible and are therefore illegal.
The amnesty will take place from today until 27th February.
During the amnesty, those handing in this type of firearm will not face prosecution for illegal possession and will not have to give their details, although its history will be checked for evidence of use in crime.
People can hand in the specified blank firers over the counter at designated police stations including Caterham which is open daily, and Crawley Police station which is open from Monday to Saturday.
Anyone unable to travel to one of these locations can call the police on 101 to request it be picked up from their home.
Anyone wishing to take part in the amnesty has been urged to use common sense when transporting their TVBF to one of the chosen stations – by placing them in a labelled bag or box and making their way straight there.
The full list of police stations which are accepting the Top/Side Venting Blank Firers as part of the amnesty are as follows:
Surrey
Sussex
West Sussex
East Sussex
