Police investigating reports of the break-in at The Chimneys on Sunday carried out raids at two addresses and said they recovered a number of items of stolen property along with quantities of Diamorphine and crack cocaine.
The men, both aged 35, were also charged with thefts from a car and of electricity.
Both will appear at Edinburgh Sheriff Court at a later date.
Police said the raids were carried out at properties on Winton Park and Links Road in Cockenzie and Port Seton.
