Central Islip Teen Ditched Stolen Car, Cops Say


A teenager has been accused of jumping out of a moving stolen car in Bay Shore in an attempt to avoid arrest early Tuesday morning.

A Suffolk County police officer pulled over a Nissan Maxima for a traffic violation on Montauk Highway when all five people inside jumped out of the car and ran away at 3:38 a.m., authorities said.

The officer stopped the Maxima, put it in park and broadcast a description over the radio of the driver, police said.
