HUNTINGTON, W.Va. — Two brothers have pleaded guilty to stealing rifle scopes and other equipment from the Marine Corps and selling it to overseas customers.

The Justice Department says 24-year-old Timothy Oldani of Scott Depot and 21-year-old Joseph Oldani of Camp Lejeune, N.C., pleaded guilty Monday in U.S. District Court in Huntington.

Timothy sold the items on the Internet to customers in Hong Kong, Japan and Taiwan.

The brothers each face up to 5 years in prison and $250,000 in fines. Their sentencing is scheduled for May 18.
