Three teens arrested in connection with a bold break-in at a west-side gun store appeared in court Friday afternoon, but won't face charges in the burglary until next week.

Prosecutors were given until Tuesday to file charges against the 14-year-old twin brothers and a 15-year-old boy suspected in the July 25 break-in, 6News' Jack Rinehart reported.

The twins -- who were 13 when they were arrested -- were charged Friday with escape and violation of electronic monitoring. Police said the brothers were wearing home detention monitors when they used a stolen car to break into Don's Guns near 38th Street and Lafayette Road.

Police said so far this year, the twins have racked up 12 arrests for auto theft, an arrest for burglary and one for armed robbery.

The 15-year-old was charged Friday with violating his probation.

Nicholas Martin, 20, -- the only adult arrested in connection with the break-in -- was charged earlier this week with burglary, theft and carrying a handgun without a license.

A judge ordered the three teens be held at the juvenile center until charges are filed next week.
