I mean why would they not mention details of the other burglary. Seems strange to give details of a normal
dwelling burglary then say they are wanted for aggravated burglary.
Even though the property was empty it is assumed that any weapon that was carried would have been used to subdue anyone that got in their way should they have encountered them. The carrying of weapons was made clear in the report by saying the burgars "grabbed some knives". It would be assumed they did so in order that they could have used them as weapons.
I believe aggravated burglary carries a life sentance.

That is why the story clearly states 'then grabbed a knife'.
