YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA, KECY) - Two of the men accused of committing a home invasion robbery in the Yuma Foothills were formally charged in connection with the crime. They now face a slew of criminal charges.

Bond for both suspects, Korey Gallagher and James Brazil, are set at $30,000. The judge changed Gallagher's to a cash-only bond because he has an arrest warrant out of California.
