They have also been charged with road traffic offences, possession of a Ford Focus which was reported stolen from Musselburgh on 8th August, and a break-in to a property in the Rosebery Reservoir area.
PC John Lumsden of the Community Investigation Unit said: “Thanks to the vigilance of the public in reporting their concerns and quickly providing information to police, we were able to deploy local and specialist resources to the area.
“This led to the recovery of a stolen vehicle and the arrest of two men for a number of offences, who were held in police custody to appear at Edinburgh Sheriff Court on Wednesday 22nd August.
“I would urge the public to continue to report any suspicious behaviour to Police Scotland on 101, providing details of any individuals or vehicles involved wherever possible. Always dial 999 if you see a crime in progress.”
