The instigating break-in was reported on the 600 block of 103^rd St. Tuesday afternoon. Through investigation, police located stolen property at a residence further along on the 600 block on 102^nd St. and also recovered a sawed off shotgun.

A 21-year-old male and a 17-year-old male were arrested and taken into custody. Both are facing charges with include Possession of Stolen Property and weapons offences. The matter is still under investigation, with a court date not yet set.

Last week, police arrested a male teenager after finding him in possession of stolen property. Officers recovered a vehicle the evening of Aug. 19 on the 1300 block of 103^rd St., which had been reported stolen earlier in the day. The 17-year-old driver attempted to flee from members on foot when stopped but was quickly taken into custody.
