Police in Nottinghamshire have hailed their recent gun amnesty a success.

Dozens of illegal weapons, including antique pistols and air rifles, have been handed in over the last fortnight, at police stations across the county.

It had been ten years since the last amnesty was held, following a series of high-profile shootings across Nottingham.
