Illegal guns, not worth the Navigators risk Community Centre Incorporated
e Council
Illegal firearms incidents are on the rise, and Crime Stoppers and Victoria Police are encouraging the community to come forward with any information they have on illegal guns. New Crime Statistics Agency data shows illegal firearms incidents have increased by nearly five per cent in Victoria since 2020, with almost 2500 firearms-related incidents occurring across the state last year. Australia’s first permanent National Firearms was launched nine months ago, and since then there have been over 13,000 firearms surrendered. However, an estimated 260,000 illegal guns remain in circulation. Crime Stoppers Victoria CEO, Stella Smith, said if you own an unregistered gun, now is the time to hand it in before someone reports you.

“There is no excuse…how would you feel if a gun that was once in your possession was used to hurt another person? “Illegal firearms mean dangerous shootings, thefts, and other violent acts that can put innocent lives at risk,” she said. Since last July, Crime Stoppers Victoria has received 1,354 firearms reports. “This shows many Victorians trust Crime Stoppers to keep their information secure, so you should too. Speaking up could save someone’s life, including your own,” Ms Smith said. Senior Sergeant Mark Guthrie said possession of illicit guns, which can carry a penalty of up to four years’ imprisonment, was “just not worth the risk”. “If you are in possession of an illegal firearm, you can now surrender it to police or licensed firearms dealer without

penalty under Victoria’s permanent amnesty,” Acting Inspector Guthrie said. Crime Stoppers Victoria and Victoria Police representatives have been out and about across Victoria, raising awareness about the dangers posed by illicit firearms – and will continue to raise awareness in the weeks ahead. Anyone with information on illegal guns is urged to make a report to Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000, or at crimestoppersvic.com.au.
