Guns handed in to Hertfordshire police during an amnesty could be donated to museums or provide a "windfall" for their previous owners, the force said.

More than 220 weapons were surrendered during November's two-week surrender.

Sgt Dan Stoddart said about five firearms would be valued and nearly 20 could go to museums instead of being "turned into razor blades" in the usual way.

"This way something good can come out of them," he said.
Good on Herts police, I say.
