More than 250 illegal firearms including rifles and handguns have been destroyed by Samoa Police at their headquarters today.
The weapons were confiscated during police operations.
According to Police Commissioner Fuiavailiili Egon Keil, there are questions about how the firearms were brought into the country.
Police held a similar exercise in 2015 where illegal guns handed over during a two-month amnesty were destroyed.
Commissioner Keil said police are planning to hold another amnesty soon for unlicensed weapons to be turned in.
