And senior officers say this time there were less wartime weapons handed in - and more recent firearms:
Quote Message
Previously have seen a number of Second World War weapons come in that wasn't the case this time more recent stuff has come in - but the bottom line is it's better that they are with us now rather than being kept insecurely in people's homes

Bus and gritters in firing line unless council gets more cashpublished at 10:23 British Summer Time 11 July 2017
Sharon Edwards
Political Reporter, BBC Radio Lincolnshire
There's a new warning this morning that bus subsidies, children's centres and winter road gritting could face further cuts in Lincolnshire.
Lincolnshire County Council's launching a campaign to get more government funding today.
It says it gets £178m a year less than the average London council.
Quote Message
Some of the stuff we like to do - the softer stuff if you like - will have to go. Salting the roads for example, bus subsidies is another one. There's all sorts of things where at the moment we've manage to pull back from it, but if we carry on as we are we're between a rock and a hard place.

Fears over derelict buildings in Grimsbypublished at 09:27 British Summer Time 11 July 2017
James Piekos
Reporter, BBC Hull and East Yorkshire
There are fears a child could be killed in Grimsby after a number of derelict buildings were broken into.
Humberside Fire and Rescue are appealing for parents to keep an eye on their children and talk to them about the dangers of empty buildings.
They've been called out at least four times in the last couple of weeks to one property after youngsters got in and started fires.
At the weekend they were at Freeman House in the East Marsh estate,where a fire was started.
Quote Message
We've increased patrols between us and the police. We boarded one property up in the morning and in the afternoon we were told that the boards had been taken off and kids were seen inside the property.

More than 100 jobs at riskpublished at 17:57 British Summer Time 10 July 2017
Alex Rhodes
BBC Local Live, Lincolnshire
The Lincolnshire Co-op has announced that it's going to shut two of its food distribution centres in Lincoln and more than a hundred distribution and office staff are facing possibly redundancy.
The two distribution centres in Pioneer Way and Whisby Road relay goods - such as tins, packets and bottles - to Lincolnshire Co-op’s 83 food stores.
Image source, Lincolnshire Co-op
Chief Retail Officer Mark Finn said the decision would help Lincolnshire Co-op provide food store customers with more options and a better service in the future.
Quote Message
The difficult decision to close our food distribution centres is not one we have embarked on lightly. However, we’re confident that this is the right decision for the Society because it will lead to significant savings, which we can invest elsewhere. It does not in any way reflect on our hard-working colleagues.
