Around 6.45am on Sunday (April 27) a man is reported to have tried door handles at a home in Harrow Road, Gillingham.
They then drove off in a van before allegedly stealing copper and power tools from two other places on the same road.
A search by officers led to Dartford where the van was found parked and unattended in St Johns Road.
After waiting nearby, police arrested two suspects and found copper piping, electrical cables and a Stihl chop saw.
Ionut Bohan, of Jessamine Place, Dartford and Eugen Stoian, of Darnley Road, Strood were both charged with two burglaries, handling stolen property and two counts of receiving stolen property.
Mr Bohan, 20, and Mr Stoian, 25, appeared before Medway Magistrates’ Court on April 29.
They were both remanded to a hearing at Woolwich Crown Court on May 27.
