Two teenage twin sisters from Pahrump were sent back to jail this week after scheming to pawn off an item they allegedly stole, authorities said.

According to the Nye County Sheriff's Office, Alexandria and Alicia Cappetto, both 18, were booked into the Nye County Detention Center Tuesday after two of their friends apparently tried to help them pawn a computer.

Alexandria Cappetto told deputies she instructed friends Mathew Levi and Kristina Bonasera, both 19, to pawn the computer. Deputies claimed that both friends knew Cappetto was arrested in September for a previous theft involving a relative's notebook computer.

The two friends were arrested Tuesday during the alleged pawning.

That same day, deputies also tracked down Alexandria Cappetto, who was waiting for Levi and Bonasera to get back from the pawn shop. She was arrested in connection to the theft connected to the pawning.

During that same day, Alexandria's sister, Alicia, stopped by the Detention Center to retrieve car keys from her, deputies said. Investigators questioned Alicia when she arrived at the jail and subsequently took her into custody in connection to the alleged theft.

The Cappettos face charges of grand larceny and conspiracy to commit burglary, among charges. Levi and Bonasera were booked on possession of stolen property charges.

Levi and Bonasera's bails were set at $5,000 each. Bail for Alexandria Cappetto was set at $13,637 while Alicia Cappetto's bail was set at $13,000.
