Two men are facing a slew of charges after York Regional Police tracked down two stolen vehicles and discovered a pair of loaded shotguns.
Officers were called to the Denison Street and Markham Road area just before 10:30 a.m. on Thursday, May 18, after receiving multiple calls of a vehicle on fire.
Investigators located a blue Honda Civic with smoke coming from the engine area, and once the fire was extinguished, officers noticed fake licence plates and determined the car was stolen. A second stolen vehicle was located nearby, police said.
When officers searched both cars, they found two loaded shotguns.
York police said 37-year-old Daniel Cabarios of Toronto and 41-year-old Glen Young (no fixed address) were taken into custody.
Both men face several charges, including two counts of unauthorized possession of a firearm, two counts of careless storage of a firearm and possession of property obtained by crime over $5,000, among other offences.
No injuries were reported.
