Two teenagers have been arrested over the theft of Leon MacDonald's rugby jerseys.

The ex-All Black confronted two boys outside his Blenheim property early Sunday morning.

They took off with around 15 international rugby jerseys.

A 16 and 17-year-old have since been stopped by police driving a stolen car, and will face charges of theft and other unrelated crimes.

They'll appear in the Blenheim District Court today.
