Maitland officers, along with deputies from the Orange County and Seminole County sheriff's offices, combed the area searching for the men.
Officers have identified the men as DaQuan Dennis, 21, and Tai Seabury, 22.
Officials said one of the men stole a car, drove away, busted through the garage gate, rammed into a pole, crashed in the apartment's parking lot and then took off running.
Lt. Louis Grindle said Orange County deputies assisted the search with a K-9 and a helicopter and Seminole County deputies helped establish a perimeter.
Authorities said the search lasted about three hours.
A witness said she saw one man being taken into custody in the RDV Sportsplex parking lot.
"There was a bunch of police officers. I saw feet first. They were carrying him out. He looked to be asleep or unconscious," witness Alice Heider said.
Police said the other man arrested was sitting in a car that had been reported stolen. Officers said he was parked near the crime scene and was acting as a lookout for the other man.
