They were charged with both, although I don't think thats worth what you think it is.

Breaking and entering is one of the harshest charges, especially if its occupied at the time. The penalties are in the decades as well.

Someone was going to get hurt from their actions whether it was the homeowner, police, or the thieves but it doesnt matter which gets hurt because every life is worth the same, criminal or not.

Are people here arguing criminals should be free to commit crimes on each other because its victimless?

Noone even knows what conditions led these kids to do these crimes. I can guarantee you it wasnt just for fun.
