Two men are each facing 23 counts of break, enter and theft after the smash-and-grab incidents over the last two weeks. The thieves made off with cash and merchandise.

They got into a vehicle and sped away, with police in pursuit. The suspect vehicle crashed into some parked vehicles at Portage Avenue and Moorgate Street and two men were arrested after a short foot chase.
