DONGAN HILLS — A group of teens broke into a car dealership, stole a vehicle from inside then crashed it into a nearby dumpster, prosecutors said.
Keir Bethea, 17, Kelvin Dennis, 17, and several other unapprehended suspects broke into Island Kia, at 1581 Hylan Blvd., sometime between Oct. 8 and Oct. 9, prosecutors said.
The group stole 57 keys and a Playstation 4, then got into a 2007 Hyundai Tucson and drove away, according to court papers. It's unclear what happened to the Tucson.
Bethea then got into a 2014 Kia Sorrento, drove it away and crashed it into a dumpster on a street near the dealership, according to his criminal complaint.
He was arrested on Oct. 10 and charged with burglary, grand larceny, criminal possession of stolen property, unauthorized use of a vehicle, criminal mischief, attempted grand larceny and attempted criminal possession of stolen property, the Staten Island District Attorney's office said.
His bail was set at $25,000 and he was also charged for robbery and grand larceny stemming from an incident in August, according to online court records.
Bethea's lawyer did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
