Legal Question in Criminal Law in New York

Statements

My licensed gun was taken without my knowledge by a friend. They were arrested for possesion of a firearm. The police want me to identify the gun and sign a statement that I didn't give permission for him to take the gun. I don't want burglary charges added but how do I go about giving a statement without adding charges?
