Guns turned over after campaign offers camera in exchange
The streets of Toronto may be a little safer today.
Over 350 guns have been turned over to police during the two week long "Pixels For Pistols" campaign.
The Gun Amnesty program encouraged people to hand over their weapons in exchange for a camera and photography lessons.
Police say all the guns that were handed over were registered fire arms.
Although most handguns used to commit crimes in Toronto are smuggled from over the border, police say a full 30 per cent are stolen from legal gun owners.
