The caller had confronted the youths and kept them in sight until police arrived.
When officers arrived on scene, two teens, a 15-year-old male and 13-year-old male, were detained. They were eventually transported to their parents and placed into their custody.
RCMP say that they received four additional reports of vehicles in the area of Hornes Road and Janis Ann Road being rifled through.
According to police, items that were reportedly taken from those vehicles, including a laptop, have since been returned to their owners.
