Three of the four guns that were stolen from an unmarked KCSO vehicle last week have now been recovered, but one is still missing as of Monday.

The Kern County Sheriff's Office received a tip Friday night from a caller about where the guns could be found. 

Deputies found the missing Colt AR-15 and Mossberg 12-gauge shotgun at a home near Rosedale Highway and Rudd Avenue.

KCSO later arrested a 16-year-old, who is now in Juvenile Hall, in custody for the possession of stolen property.

KCSO did not say whether or not the juvenile taken into custody was the same person seen in the surveillance video given to 23ABC by a neighbor.
