Almost 200 illegal guns have been handed in by people in Samoa in a gun amnesty which ended yesterday.
A total of 198 weapons were collected.
The firearms comprised rifles, pistols, and shotguns.
Ammunition totalling 686 for the various firearms were also handed to the Police.
TV1Samoa quotes Police Commissioner Fuiavailili Egon Keil saying the operation has been successful.
He said the amnesty was extended by a month to allow owners to hand in illegal firearms without conviction.
Fuiavailili said for each firearm handed into Police, the owner was given a food voucher.
