Anthony Talbott, 24, and Christopher Wade Armstrong, 29, both of Churchville, have been charged with breaking and entering and grand larceny.

Additional charges will be presented to the grand jury in November.

Armstrong is currently being held at the Middle River Regional Jail with no bond.  Talbott is free on a $2,500 secured bond.
