POLICE forces are under fire for returning guns to scores of suspected violent offenders.

Data shows 164 firearms licences were given back between 2019 and 2021, with 43 of these returned to people accused of domestic violence.

The figures follow the Plymouth murders last year, when gunman Jake Davison, 22, shot dead five people after he got his licence back.
