Amnesty for 'guns'

Tests on the Olympic .380 BBM gun found that it could be altered, making it a prohibited weapon under the 1968 Firearms Act.

Forces across the country have called for owners to hand in the revolvers, and anyone who fails to do so by June 4 will be breaking the law.

They can be given to officers at Rotherham’s Main Street station.

Anyone with information about firearms incidents or information about people with access to illegal firearms should contact 0114  220 2020 or call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111.
