MITCHELL, S.D. (AP) — Authorities say two 16-year-old Mitchell girls face theft and gun charges for allegedly breaking into a Mitchell home and stealing an AR-15 rifle, a handgun and other items.

Mitchell police say the two suspects entered the residence Monday through an unlocked window. The owner allegedly saw them running away with the rifle and other possessions.

Police say law enforcement arrested the two juveniles Monday near a softball field without incident. Authorities say they recovered many of the stolen items, including the guns.

The teenagers have also been charged with burglary, possession of a pistol by a minor and marijuana and drug paraphernalia possession. The investigation remains ongoing.
