More than 40 guns which fire blanks have been handed into Surrey and Sussex Police following a four-week firearms amnesty.

The forces issued a joint appeal for Turkish-manufactured top-venting blank firers to be dropped off.

42 illegal TVBFs were handed in to stations during the amnesty last month.

Possession of prohibited brands, Retay, Ekol, Ceonic and Blow, can carry sentences of up to 10 years.
