Cleveland police hold annual gun buyback

Posted

Cleveland police are holding an annual gun buyback on Sunday.

The buyback will take place at the Third District Headquarters on Chester Avenue between 12 p.m. and 4 p.m. on Sunday. The weapon must be unloaded in a clear plastic bag and transported in a secondary container. The police advise transporting the unloaded bagged weapon in the trunk of your vehicle. 

Police say that ammunition should be packed separately and that non-semi-automatic rifles and shotguns can be turned in but no incentive will be given for the weapons. 

After a Cleveland police officer inspects the weapon is operable, a $100 gift card for either gas or food will be given for a handgun and $200 for a semi-automatic rifle.
