State police arrested three New York City men who they say used phony $100 and $50 bills at a North Salem gas station.

The trio are accused of using counterfeit bills on Tuesday at Coco Farms Shell Gas Station on Route 22 to buy small items and receiving legitimate cash in return, New York State Police said.

Exondus Barnes, 21, and Dalton Daley, 21, both of Queens, and Isiah Styles, 22, of Brooklyn, were charged with felony possession of a forged instrument and petit larceny, a misdemeanor.

The three subjects were arraigned in North Salem Court and remanded to Westchester County Jail in lieu of $15,000 cash bail or secure bond. Daley and Styles were still being held at the jail Sunday, but Barnes’ status wasn’t immediately known.

All three are due back in court on June 24.
