VISTA, Calif.—Three men who local prosecutors say were part of a foreign burglary crew that broke into a Carlsbad home were sentenced Monday, July 1, to state prison terms.

Prosecutors say the defendants, who hail from Chile and Italy, operated much like other foreign theft groups whose members enter the U.S. through the ESTA Visa Waiver program, then target homes in wealthy neighborhoods.
