Rocket launcher handed in to Cleveland Police during amnesty 7 August 2019 During a 2-week firearms amnesty, police surrendered a single-use rocketlauncher to them. The deactivated weapon was handed in to Cleveland Police as part of a nationwide campaign. Tlauncher.club The force said 15 firearms including air pistols, active AK-47s and shot guns were given up between 20 July and 3 August. The surrender of firearms does not result in prosecution. They can remain anonymous. Before safely destroying a weapon, officers will review the history of each weapon to see if it has been used in a crime. Insp Mark Pitt (co-ordinator) said that although we do not have a problem with gun crime it is a priority of mine to work with my community to reduce firearms vulnerabilities further. Replica firearms and ammunition were also accepted. The weapons were found at Cleveland's four main police stations, Hartlepool-on-Tes, Middlesbrough-Redcar, Redcar and Stockton-on-Tes. Temporary Ch. Suppt Alison Jackson added that: People often acquire a firearm while cleaning out a loved one's home, or because of career choices. Keeping firearms for sentimental reasons rather than handing them in could seriously endanger someone's life if they are stolen as they could potentially fall into the hands of people with criminal intent. A firearms amnesty gives you the opportunity to hand over unwanted and unlicensed guns, but they can also go to police stations at any moment in the knowledge that they will not be destroyed.
