The U.S. Attorney's Office said 20-year-old Mohammed Hussein Guhad, 19-year-old Joshua Kasongo and 20-year-old Luke Elbino were sentenced Monday to 5 1/2 years in prison. The fourth man, 18-year-old Anthony Boyd-Muse, received 4 1/2 years.
Prosecutors say the defendants drove through Roanoke County neighborhoods to identify houses where they believed wealthy people lived, then would research intended targets on the Internet.
The men were arrested after a thwarted attempt by Guhad, Elbino and Kasongo to kidnap a woman on April 9.
