Two Arrrested for Equipment Thefts

Delaware County Sheriff’s officials say they have arrested two men in connection with a burglary of a seasonal residence and garage in July in the Town of Hamden.

Officials say 38 year old Henry Stellano III and 31 year old David Thompson are charged with two felony burglary charges, two counts of felony grand larceny, felony grand larceny involving a firearm and felony criminal mischief.

Officials say the thefts occurred between early May and mid July and the homeowner on Basin Clove Road reported a shotgun, two John Deere riding lawn mowers, a DR Power Equipment walk-behind brush mower, two Echo weed trimmers, a Vermont Castings woodstove, hand tools and a 46-inch Sony flat screen television were stolen.

While some items were recovered, officials are still looking for some of the stolen lawn mowers.

Still missing are a 12.5 horsepower walk-behind DR Power brush mower and the 2013 John Deere X320 riding mower.

Anyone with information is asked to call the Delaware County Sheriff’s office at (607) 832-5555.
