Two Niagara area residents are facing charges after a Friday break and enter.

They crashed while speeding off.

Police found stolen property in the car they say belonged to the recently robbed address, as well as two unloaded guns, but those guns did not belong to house.

35-year old Adrian De Barrons of Port Colborne is charged with break and enter, a number of  weapons offences, and breach of probation.

Police add 30-year old Lyle Biljetina of Fort Erie also faces a break and enter charge and a number of weapons offences.
