PROVIDENCE, R.I. � A 15-year-old boy is accused of stealing two Mossberg 12-gauge shotguns from his father and posting them for sale on Facebook.

One was sold for $80 to another teenager in North Kingstown, who sold it to an 18-year-old he knew from North Kingstown High School, said Providence Police Sgt. Carl Weston.

The other shotgun, which the Providence boy hid in an abandoned house at 189 Burnside St., has disappeared, Weston said.

The boy�s parents discovered the guns were missing from the locked cases on Sept. 30. The father questioned the boy about the missing guns and then contacted the police, Weston said.

After questioning the boy, the police found the North Kingstown teenager who�d bought the gun from him � but the gun had already exchanged hands again, Weston said.

The boy had sold it to Warren Terry, 18, whom he knew from high school and who had the gun stashed outside his grandmother�s house on Old Baptist Road in North Kingstown, according to Providence police. Detectives found the gun under canvas and loaded with shotguns shells. The serial numbers were obliterated.

The 15-year-old Providence boy was charged with two counts of possession of a firearm by a minor, larceny of a firearm and selling a stolen firearm.

Terry was charged by North Kingstown police with altering marks on a firearm and possession of a firearm. He was arraigned at District Court, Warwick, on Oct. 1 and released on his own recognizance.

Police searched the house at Burnside Street but were unable to find the other missing shotgun.
