Syracuse, NY -- Two victims of a burglary that led to charges against Syracuse University football players are accused of burglarizing two other apartments minutes after being victimized, a county prosecutor said.

Sophomores Erwing Augustin, 20, and Bradley Valik, 20, lost a television, XBox gaming system and other electronics in a burglary at 1:15 p.m. Feb. 23, court papers said.

Fifteen minutes later, Valik and Augustin are accused of breaking in to another apartment to steal items they had just lost, including a television and an XBox, records showed.

They also are accused of breaking in to a second apartment and stealing another television, game system and amplifier, records showed.

"They got burglarized, then they stole stuff from other people to replace the stuff they had stolen," said Syracuse police Sgt. Tom Connellan. He did not know if the football players and other suspects knew each other.
