Auckland firearm holders have multiple opportunities to hand-in their prohibited firearms and parts up until the amnesty and buy-back ends on 20 December 2019.
There is a collection event on in Auckland almost every day until 20 December 2019. No more excuses - Police are encouraging everyone to get in soon and to tell their mates.
Avoid the queues in December and get paid in time for Christmas. Don’t risk being prosecuted and losing your firearms licence by not handing-in.
