CONCORD — More than $1,000 was stolen from a Staten Island Home Depot earlier this week, prosecutors said.

Darnell Barthelemy, 30, and an unnamed 17-year-old walked into the Home Depot, at 545 Targee St., at about 11:50 a.m. Monday and filled a cart with electrical testers, switches, outlets, bug spray, tissues and wireless speakers, prosecutors said.

The pair walked out of the store without paying, filled Marcus Saint Aubin's 2016 Chevrolet Tahoe with the goods and all three drove off, prosecutors said.

The three were arrested and charged with grand larceny, criminal possession of stolen property and petit larceny at their arraignment, according to the Staten Island District Attorney's office.

Saint Aubin, 35, was held on $1,000 bail and is due back in court on Oct. 6, according to online court records.

Barthelemy, who was arrested in March for robbery and assault in Brooklyn, was released without bail and is due back in court on Oct. 6.

Their lawyers did not respond to a request for comment.
