Cops in Saint Lucia are giving a final chance to hand in illegal guns before a major crackdown. The Royal Saint Lucia Police Force announced a brief amnesty program, allowing people to surrender firearms and ammunition at stations across the island during designated days. Assistant Commissioner Luke Defreitas called it part of a new zero-tolerance push against gun violence.

Individuals must contact their nearest station first to arrange the surrender. Weapons need to be unloaded and secured in a carrier for transport directly to the police. Authorities stressed this is not a cash for guns program or a grant of immunity from prosecution.

All surrendered items will undergo ballistic testing. Firearms linked to past crimes could still lead to charges. Defreitas warned that the amnesty is not a get out of jail free card, and enforcement will ramp up significantly once the surrender window closes. The goal is to remove illegal weapons from communities to improve public safety.
