Week in Review: April 22 to April 28

This week was noteworthy for a spectacular chase that ended in Massapequa, a lot of talk about money and budgets, and a money issue between ex-roommates that left one under arrest.

Here's a look back:

Just before 4 a.m. Wednesday a police chase that started in Wantagh ended on a front lawn in Massapequa. Three men, who police said were trying to steal tires and rims ran from the vehicle and an officer fired a shot at one suspect. That suspect gave up and another was apprehended a short time later.  The third suspect was grabbed with the assistance of a police dog.

All the excitement started when the get away car ended up on the front lawn of Susan Martin. Martin told Patch what it was like to have a front row seat for all the excitement.

The other major police story of the week involved the arrest of a North Massapequa woman who was accused of using her former roommate's name and social security number to set up bogus joint credit card accounts. She allegedly made $6,000 in charges.

Meanwhile, we're still in the middle of budget season and there were two more spending plans on the radar this week. The village of Massapequa Park adopted their $6.1 million spending plan, while the Massapequa Public Library proposed a $5.4 million plan.
