Two men are facing charges after a delivery vehicle was stolen and packages were recovered from a home in the London, Ont., neighbourhood of Argyle.

Police say a stolen delivery vehicle was reported in the area of Bow Street and Noel Avenue at around 12 p.m. Monday. It was found nearby but was missing packages, police say.

The street crime unit was then tapped to investigate and a search warrant was executed at a home on Toulon Crescent, less than two kilometres from where the vehicle was reported stolen.

“We won’t speak (about) the business the delivery vehicle belonged to,” Const. Matt Dawson told Global News. He was also unable to comment on how many packages there were, or what they contained.

“There is nothing currently to support a nexus between this occurrence and porch thefts from what we are aware of,” he added.
