RCMP have charged a man and a youth more than seven years after two antique cars were stolen from a farm west of Edmonton and vandalized.
Police say suspects broke into a locked barn in April 2012 near Spruce Grove, Alta., and took a restored 1925 Ford Model T and a 1956 Studebaker.
The thieves managed to get the Studebaker running, but when it got stuck in the mud, they lit it on fire.
They smashed the Model T’s windows, caused extensive body damage and left burn marks on the vehicle.
Police say a recent break in the case allowed them to make two arrests.
