Monday, Oct. 24

Larceny: A man living on 227th Lane Northeast contacted police after he discovered that two guns, a .22 caliber rifle and a .380 handgun, were missing from his master bedroom closet.

The man questioned his son, who denied knowing anything about the missing guns. The man believed his son but suspects that one of his son’s friends might have taken the guns.

The man had on one occasion found one of his son’s friends hiding in the closet during a game of hide and seek. Afterwards he purchased trigger locks for the guns.

The man said that his son’s friends play with air soft rifles and often have the rifles at the house. The two missing guns could have been concealed in one of the air soft cases. There was also no sign of forced entry to the house.

The man said that whoever took the guns left behind the loaded clips. He also said that they did not get the keys for the trigger locks.
