Police say it was around 1:15 p.m. on Nov. 9 when officers responded to reports of a crash at a home on Woodcrest Boulevard, south of Village Green Avenue.
Citizens reported seeing a pickup truck mount a curb and cross a boulevard and sidewalk before coming to a stop against the home, according to police.

After receiving descriptions of the two suspects, a number of officers were sent to the area before both the truck’s driver and passenger were arrested.
A 19-year-old Muncey man and a 20-year-old London man have been jointly charged with possession of property obtained by crime under $5,000.
