It follows reports of a break and enter at Huthwaite Street in Mount Austin on Friday afternoon.
Chief Inspector Andrew Spliet said officers were still investigating and were calling on residents with information to come forward.
“We’re currently seeking information from anyone who might no something,” Inspector Spliet said.
“We are asking them to contact Crime Stoppers.”
Inspector Spliet said the weapons had been stored correctly at the home, but an unlocked garage door had provided the perfect an opportunity for the alleged offenders to force entry.
“Any firearm that is in the hands of someone not registered to own it is a concern to us and members of the public,” he said.
“We would like to remind residents to make sure any firearms are secured and stored appropriately.”
But this was not the only theft, recorded across the weekend.
It follows the loss of cash from a coffee store at Home Base, with thieves allegedly forcing the front door open and stealing the money inside, according to Wagga police.
Anyone with information relating to these incidents are urged to call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or visit the Crime Stoppers online reporting page.
