GWINNETT COUNTY, Ga. — Three men, including two Atlanta rappers, have been arrested on theft charges after stealing more than $4,000 of activated prepaid gift cards from Home Depot and exchanging them for cash.
The incident occurred at 4136 Jimmy Carter Boulevard in January.
Jalen Darden, 21, Kelderick Giles, 23, and Evan Griffin, 22, were arrested Thursday. Each posted $11,200 bond the same day.

A Home Depot clerk had previously admitted to colluding on the scheme to steal the gift cards.
