Illegal firearms and other weapons have been seized during a police search of a property in the Huon Valley.
The search at the weekend was an investigation by police in the Kingston Division and resulted in the seizure of guns, weapons and a quantity of illegal drugs.
Reducing the number of illicit firearms in the community is a priority for Tasmania Police and it is pleasing to see that these unregistered firearms no longer represent a threat to the public.
Now seized, they will be destroyed following the completion of court proceedings.
A permanent firearms amnesty exits in Tasmania. Unregistered or unwanted firearms can be surrendered to police, or firearms dealers, without action being taken in relation to possession offences.
If you have knowledge of illicit firearms in the community, call police on 131 444 or report anonymously to Crime Stoppers Tasmania on 1800 333 000, or online at crimestopperstas.com.au
