Two Henrico men pleaded guilty to breaking and entering as well as grand larceny charges today.

Rexx Victor Knapp, 20, and Wayne Lee Baker, 33, neighbors who live near Pemberton Elementary School in the county, targeted Pinchbeck Elementary School and Douglas Southall Freeman High School to steal computers.

Both men face as much as 80 years in prison when they are sentenced Oct. 29.

Authorities said the two men stole as many as 14 computers worth several thousand dollars.

The two men were discovered when devices inside the computers, which photograph the user, revealed Knapp's image.

Knapp told police that Baker had been an accomplice, Assistant Commonwealth's Attorney Penn Bain said in Henrico County Circuit Court. -- Bill McKelway
