Twin brothers in Chester County have been sentenced to six to 23 months in prison and 5 years probation during which they are barred from contact with each other. Daniel and Caleb Tate plead guilty to arson and misdemeanor retail theft charges. Last December while home from college, they detonated homemade pipe bombs, blowing up five different targets in Lancaster and Chester Counties. Those included an Amish phone shed, a produce shed, a mailbox, and a well pump shed. They apologized at their sentencing.
