The homeowner believed the driver to be impaired and called police on the man and a female passenger, police said. Officers arrived and determined the car was stolen on Dec. 14, and both suspects were arrested, police said.
A search of the car found break-in tools, and identification that didn’t belong to either person, police said.
A 33-year-old man and a 30-year-old woman face joint charges of possession of property obtained by crime both over and under $5,000, and possession of both break-in instruments and an identity document.
The man faces additional charges of impaired driving and breach of a recognizance, while the woman faces an extra charge of failing to comply with an undertaking.
