In Re the Welfare of Luft

— Mark Luft is 17 years old; his brother, Scott Luft, is 16. Both were convicted in juvenile court of first-degree possession of stolen property which consisted of seven guns. These guns were found by the court to be of a value of at least $3,000. They were stolen from a private residence, but the above minors were not charged with the theft. The events giving rise to the conviction of these juveniles occurred on August 16, 1978, and their causes were adjudicated in September of 1978; hence, their treatment is governed by the Juvenile Justice Act of 1977, which became effective July 1, 1978.
