R-C-M-P in Surrey say two men face a series of charges after being found with two stolen vehicles.

The Mounties say a report of a stolen work van led police to arrest the two suspects last week.

They say the charges against one of the men, a 34-year-old from Surrey, include one count of carrying a concealed weapon and breaching a release order.

The second man, who is 29, has been charged with mischief, possession of property obtained by crime, and breaching a probation order.
