TULSA, Okla. — Tulsa police pulled over five underage boys and found a stolen modified Glock handgun.
Police confiscated the weapon from a 14-year-old and arrested him on Oct. 10.
It’s legal to own in Oklahoma, TPD told 2 News, but not for minors.
TPD posted more details Monday morning after collecting more evidence. According to the report, the gun was traced to a car burglary 12 days earlier.
"It’s everyday practice. There’s nothing that should be different. You shouldn’t store (your gun) differently whether you’re in this parking lot or that parking lot," TPD Officer Danny Bean said. "It should be very secured.
Bean said gun owners need to know where their weapons are securely stored at all times, especially since gun thefts are prevalent in Tulsa.
Law enforcement reminds gun owners to always keep track of a weapon's serial number. Without that, a gun cannot be recovered if stolen.
“So any weapons you buy, or TVs, or anything that you buy, you might want to keep a catalog or log down the serial numbers of the items that you own,” Bean said.
TPD said the Juvenile Division of Tulsa County will prosecute the teen.
