Sheriff Donny Youngblood is refusing to comment on the incident of four guns being stolen from an unmarked KCSO car earlier this week.
Three guns remain stolen Wednesday. Officials said the four guns were stolen between Monday night and Tuesday morning in northwest Bakersfield near Avanti Drive and La Fortuna Way.
Detectives were able to recover several stolen items, including one gun, but a Colt AR-14, a twelve gauge shotgun and a handgun remain missing.
Officials did not say if the car was broken into or if the car was left unlocked.
The Sheriff's Department said the deputy involved is still on active duty.
