Police say the boys, 14-and 15-years-old, entered a home on Hollyview Drive around 11:30 a.m. March 20.
The two teens panicked and called police to report the crime afterwards in an effort to try and throw police off their trail. But during the call, police say the teens provided a description of themselves to officers.
Police believe that a barking dog inside the house may have frightened the teens.
Police say muddy footprints inside of the home matched one of the boy's shoes, connecting them to the break-in. Nothing was taken from the home.
Police say the boys later confessed to the crime.
The pair was arrested and taken to the Erie County Detention Center.
