POLICE caught two teenage boys with stolen licensed firearms in Dickson yesterday.
About 12.30pm a police officer saw two teenage boys walking on Cowper Street, towards the Dickson shops, carrying green firearm bags.
Police officers approached the boys and asked them to put the bags down; one boy complied, the other fled the scene.
The licensed firearms were identified and returned to their owner, who confirmed his home had been burgled earlier that day.
The alleged offenders aged 15 and 17 were arrested and charged. They will face ACT Children’s Court at a later date.
Anyone with information about the burglary or the stolen firearms are urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or www.act.crimestoppers.com.au.
