MORE than 68 weapons and 1,757 bullets have been handed in since the start of a month-long gun amnesty in the area covered by Humberside Police.
The collection includes three self-loading hand guns, three revolvers, one rifle and two shotguns, which were handed in by people in East Yorkshire.
"We are obviously pleased with this response from the public, but the result is not in the least bit surprising," said Inspector Steve Page, of Humberside Police.
"I am sure that there will be many more people out there who perhaps are unsure as to whether or not they should risk bringing guns, ammunition or other weapons in to the police."
