White Plains Buyback Day Removes 94 Guns from Streets
On Saturday afternoon, March 22, at the Fire Station on the corner of Maple and Mamaroneck Avenues in White Plains, 94 unwanted guns were turned in within a three-hour time period. A total of $5,075 was given out by Attorney General’s office for the guns. “This is the first time this program has been done in White Plains,” said Public Safety Commissioner David Chong. “Any unwanted gun is a tragedy waiting to happen. These guns have been removed from potentially getting onto the streets of our city and county have made it safer for residents and law enforcement. I applaud Mayor Roach and the State Attorney General for bringing this program to White Plains.” White Plains Public Safety Commissioner David Chong and Mayor Tom Roach are pictured in the center of the photo surrounded by members of the White Plains Police Force and other law enforcement.
