Two men are in custody after they stole a dirt bike from a Franklin Township home Sunday afternoon.
Township police Chief Jason Doll said the incident occurred at 2:45 p.m. at a home on Rock Street.

He said inside the vehicle were Michael Coleman, 40, of Franklin Township, and Anthony Riggio, 36, of Lehighton.

He said Coleman was arraigned, while Riggio had a warrant.
Doll said both men are being charged with burglary and theft.
They are incarcerated in the Carbon County Correctional Facility.
