Two men are facing several gun charges during a home invasion in Easton.
According to police, officers were dispatched to a home about 12 a.m. when a residential alarm went off.
Police said a mother and her three children were inside the house when she reported hearing what she thought were intruders.
When police came, the mother told them she could hear the suspects near the back of the house.
Two Easton officers pursued the suspects on foot and quickly apprehended one of them.
A second suspect was discovered shortly after.
During the search, police discovered a loaded Glock handgun with a 30-round high-capacity magazine.
The suspects have been identified as Ernst Lacrete, 25, of Quincy, and Lavar Benson, 25, of Dorchester.
Both males face charges of house invasion, carrying a firearm without a license, possessing a large-capacity firearm, and carrying a loaded firearm without a license.
An investigation is ongoing, and both individuals are scheduled to be arraigned in Taunton District Court on Wednesday.
