Police Announces Gun Amnesty Programme

The Royal Montserrat Police Service has announced a gun amnesty.

Commissioner Steve Foster says during the period Saturday September 12 to Wednesday December 23, 2020 individuals in possession of any unregistered or unlicensed firearms can submit them to any Police Station without being prosecuted; once the illegal firearms were not used to commit a crime.

He is calling on authorized firearm holders, who are no longer capable of holding a firearm for medical or any other reason, to feel free to surrender those firearms  or the Police will make arrangements to collect the weapon.

He noted that individuals who surrender their weapons will be contributing to ensuring that Montserrat remains a safe community.
