Southampton Blotter: Woman reports $300 sunglasses stolen from car

Gamaliel Hernandez, 30, of Riverhead was arrested last Tuesday around 7:29 p.m. for third-degree aggravated unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle and for an equipment violation caused by inadequate license plate lamps. Police observed Mr. Hernandez towing a trailer north on Route 104, north of CR 31. The trailer did not have functioning plate lamps, prompting a traffic stop. During the stop, an officer determined that Mr. Hernandez had a revoked driver’s license privilege. He was arrested near Quogue Riverhead Road in Flanders.
• A Riverhead woman called Southampton police last Monday around 8:12 a.m. to report a case of petit larceny. The woman told police that between 1 and 2 a.m. a man walked onto the driveway of her Goodridge Avenue home and stole a pair of black Michael Kors sunglasses, valued at $300, from her vehicle.
