A 17-year-old boy is due to front Children's Court today (Wednesday 7 February, 2018) over the alleged theft of firearms from a Lake Macquarie home.
Police say five shotguns were stolen during a break-in at a home at Hillsborough on December 27 last year.
A 16-year-old boy was arrested the following day and is still in custody.
Further inquiries led officers to a home at Windale yesterday where a 17-year-old boy was arrested and three firearms were recovered.
He's been charged with aggravated break and enter and has been refused bail ahead of his court appearance today.
