Two men are facing multiple charges in connection with a home burglary that police said netted them more than $10,000 in firearms.
According to an Odessa Police Department report, a Hilltop Drive resident called police on Sept. 12 after discovering someone had forced open his back door and stolen numerous firearms and other items.
