Officers caught up with the two suspects – who were found in possession of a number of stolen items, plus a folding knife and a pry bar – in the 200 block of Wellington Crescent.

Police said the two men forced open an overhead garage door of a Roslyn Road residential complex, stole a duffel bag from an unlocked car, then pried two storage lockers open and stole an axe.
