POLICE have charged two men in connection with the theft of a $600 000 car.
The rare 1971 GT HO Phase 3 Ford Falcon disappeared from an Osborne Park panel beating shop in November last year.

Detectives yesterday located the car at a Maddington property and recovered the number plates and an allegedly stolen Harley Davidson motor bike during a raid on a second property in the same suburb earlier today.

A 46-year-old Kelmscott man was charged with receiving and is due to appear in the Perth Magistrates Court on Tuesday.

A 38-year-old Maida Vale man is expected to be charged with stealing the Falcon. He was arrested after abandoning his Toyota Hi-Ace van on railway tracks at Kenwick following a police pursuit.

The driver was charged with breaching bail, failing to stop for police, reckless driving and not having a driver's licence. He was due to appear in Perth Magistrates Court today.
