Cops Crash Party At Vacant Flanders Home

A pair of local teens were arrested after reportedly partying in a couple of vacant Flanders homes last weekend.   

According to Southampton Police, the duo – as well as several others, who escaped before police could break up the party – were partying in a vacant bungalow on Peconic Trail when word got out that a bigger home in the area was also open to party in. The get-together shifted, police said, to Huntington Lane, where a neighbor alerted the homeowner that activity was going on in his home.   

Police reports state that the homeowner originally thought his son was to blame, and after sending a caretaker over to check on the home, one 19-year-old was reportedly found on the back patio with a couple of beers in hand. Riverhead resident Trever Jackson was held by the caretaker until police arrived, and arrested on a charge of criminal trespassing in the second degree, a misdemeanor.   

The following day, police said they found a backpack belonging to Riverhead High School student Bhavesh Hasarafally, 17, at one of the homes where police said he had been staying for an extended period of time. Hasarafally was arrested and charged with second-degree burglary, a felony, as well as criminal trespass in the second degree, and criminal possession of stolen property in the fifth degree, both misdemeanors.
