The vehicle, a Chrysler Sebring, contained multiple packages that had been taken from homes, according to authorities.
The two young men in the car -- 18-year-old Aaron Diaz, of East Patchogue and 16-year-old Alex Cintorrino, of Patchogue -- were arrested and charged with nine counts of petit larceny, police said.
