Montauk

Peter Mabanta arrived at his house on South Fairview Avenue after two days away on Feb. 7 to find his yard and lawn torn up and damage to a stockade fence. In all, Mr. Mabanta said it would cost over $1,500 to repair. The investigating police officer said tire tracks were made with a dually pickup truck based on how mud was wedged between two tires, leaving a pyramid-shaped line.
