Halton police have arrested and charged two brothers following a stolen vehicle investigation in Oakville.

On the night of Nov. 24, an SUV was stolen from the driveway of a residence on Orchard Drive, where police say the suspects also entered a second vehicle and stole a wallet.

Then, police say the credit cards were fraudulently used to purchase gas later that evening in Mississauga.

The investigation led to the arrests of Joshua and Jesse Murphy, both 19, who were located this week driving stolen vehicles in Hamilton and Grimsby, police said.
