Two prolific offenders are facing more charges following their arrests last month.

Red Deer RCMP say it was Dec. 14 when members arrested two males following a stolen property investigation.

Red Deer Mounties observed a suspicious vehicle attend two separate businesses within Red Deer and steal wheels off vehicles at those businesses, police say.

Members were able to stop and arrest two males from the suspicious car. During the arrest, police say one of the suspects threw a backpack, which police would recover. The backpack contained multiple cell phones, cash and drugs.

Further investigation revealed the car had been stolen from Edmonton and that the plate was stolen from a different vehicle from Red Deer.
