OCEAN SPRINGS, Miss. (AP) - Four minors have been arrested after Mississippi authorities say they stole guns and money from a home in Jackson County.

The Sun Herald reports (https://bit.ly/2pqlBFL) Jackson County Sheriff Mike Ezell says in a news release that the minors were between the ages of 12 and 15. They were each charged with burglary and breaking into a dwelling in connection with the Ocean Springs home invasion Saturday.

Ezell says the juveniles kicked the door in and proceeded to take three guns and a glass full of change. He says the money and two of the guns were recovered, but investigators are looking for the third gun. Investigators believe the gun may have been tossed into Fort Bayou.



It’s unclear if the juveniles have attorneys.
