Two CNN producers were arrested after trying to break into the World Trade Center construction site Tuesday.

According to police, Yon Pomrenze and Connor Boals were charged with trespassing and disorderly conduct after they tried to climb a fence and force their way through a locked gate.

The two apparently tried to mimic the "success" of 16-year-old Justin Casquejo, who snuck onto the tower last weekend to take pictures. He was arrested on Sunday.

The news comes one day after authorities arrested four men for making a BASE jump from the unfinished tower in September.
