VANCOUVER — Two men who allegedly broke into a car and made off with wrapped Christmas presents will spend their holiday in a Vancouver jail.

Police say they received a call around 6 p.m. Christmas Eve about men breaking into a car in a downtown parking lot.

The men took off on foot, and but witnesses provided a description of the pair.

Police say they found the "grinches" in a building nearby a short time later.
