Chavez was arrested last week in Englewood. Police believe he broke into the cars and defeated the lock system where the rifles were being kept. Police say he accidentally left a debit card behind that had his name on it.

Police won't say how they tracked down Sartin but did confirm he was arrested in Thornton. Both men face charges of criminal trespassing and theft.
