MASSENA — New York State Police arrested two men for petit larceny and a woman on outstanding warrants Sept. 9 following a theft at Home Depot.
Jason Boyea, 45, of North Bangor, and Hunter J. Lamay, 21, of Malone, were charged with petit larceny after allegedly stealing merchandise from the store on Stephenville Road.
