Two teenagers are facing charges after police stopped a pair of suspicious people in the early morning hours in a Stittsville neighbourhood.

An officer saw two men walking in the Steventon Crescent and Delamere Drive area around 4 a.m., and about 25 minutes later, spotted them coming out of two separate driveways.

They were arrested for trespassing, and while investigating, officers seized a loaded sawed-off shotgun and some stolen property.
