NATCHEZ — Natchez police have arrested a teenager who reportedly stole a pistol, silverware and a cell phone from an Arlington Avenue house Sunday.

Sgt. Shawn T. King declined to release the name of the 16-year-old teen because the teen is being charged with burglary as a juvenile.

The teen reportedly confessed to the burglary after officers found the teen in the area of the burglary with one of the stolen items, King said.
