Overheated AC leads to brief evacuation at Tanger

The Polo Ralph Lauren  store in the  Tanger Outlet Center was briefly evacuated late Sunday afternoon after an overheated air conditioner unit in the ceiling left a smell of smoke in the building, according to Riverhead Town Fire Marshal Dave Andruszkiewicz.

The Riverhead Fire Department responded with several trucks at about 5 p.m. and the store was  reopened shortly afterward.
