NEW BRITAIN BOROUGH, PA — Two Philadelphia men are facing multiple charges after they were found in possession of a stolen car and a handgun in the parking lot of an auto auction in New Britain Borough.

The Central Bucks Regional Police Department responded to the CoPart Philadelphia East Auction on Tuesday for the report of a stolen car.
