Two Pennsylvania men were sentenced Friday to nine years in prison for burglarizing a Valley Stream home while posing as construction workers and stealing items worth over $1 million, prosecutors said.

Prosecutors said the defendants' cellphones showed photos of themselves posing with the proceeds of their crime, wearing the same clothing they had worn during the burglary.

"These defendants thought they could outsmart law enforcement, casing a Valley Stream home and posing as construction workers as a ruse to break-in and steal over $1 million in property," Nassau County District Attorney Anne T. Donnelly said in a statement. "But through terrific detective work by investigators and my prosecutors, and the defendants’ own hubris, these men now find themselves heading to prison."
