• A 23-year-old Wading River woman called the police to Peconic Avenue on Riverside in regard to a theft, according to Southampton Town Police.
On Sept. 16, a woman told police that someone had entered her car and stole two pairs of sunglasses, some loose change and one wallet, according to police.
The police said the stolen items were worth, about $350.
She said she confronted a man who stole the items and he gave back the glasses, but that she had to struggle to retrieve the wallet, and that the suspect ran off into the woods before police arrived.
Those who are named in police reports have not been convicted of any crime or violation. The charges against them may later be reduced or withdrawn, or they may be found innocent.
