Two Hampton women were both sentenced to seven-and-a-half years in prison after admitting to breaking into a vacant residence.
Nicole Lynn Baker, 43, and Priscilla Lynn Curtis, 32, pleaded to unarmed burglary of an unoccupied structure.
According to an arrest report, the owner of a vacant Hampton-area home installed surveillance cameras on her property after several break-ins and called 911 after receiving notification of people in the house.
The owner told deputies she was in the process of renovating the home and had not given anyone permission to enter the structure.
Deputies obtained surveillance photos of the defendants inside the home, along with an unidentified third person.
Baker told deputies she was in the home to recover medications she believed a squatter in the house stole from her. Both defendants claimed the door to the residence was open when they entered, and that they did not break in. They also claimed they took nothing from the home. However, video showed the pair taking items out of the structure, and the owner listed $5,850 worth of construction materials missing, including a subwoofer, bathroom fixtures, fans, wood flooring and lumber.
