So I woke up this moring to a phone call from my father saying that two of his guns were missing. He CCs regularly so he keeps them hidden in his room. He called the police and they came out. We figured out pretty quickly that two of my younger brother's "friends" has taken the guns. The police questioned the boys and they confessed to breaking into my father's house and stealing the weapons.
It turns out that my little brother had shown them about a month before where the guns were. The police knew this, but wanted to confirm it with my LB. They said they wanted to ask him a few questions. My dad, not knowing at this time my LB's involvement, asked the magic words "Is my son being detained, or is he free to go?" The officer responded that he was in fact being detained for questioning. My dad said he wanted a lawyer for my LB. The police officer said "Incredible!" then told the other officer at the scene to hold off "on those affidavits." It turns out they were going to release the firearms back to my father, but since my dad "flip-flopped" and they couldn't be sure how the perps knew about the guns, they didn't feel that they were "safe".
My question is this: How can my father get his guns back before the trial? The "nice" officer gave me the number to the Commonwealth Attorney's office, but we are unsure how to proceed.
