2 Men Give False Names After Beer Heist At Gas Station: Cops

PECONIC, NY — Two men were arrested after two juveniles stole beer in Peconic — and one was found to have a forged Social Security card, police said.

According to Southold Town Police, the incident took place Thursday at 10:32 a.m. at the BP gas station on County Road 48. Southold Police were dispatched to the gas station after two youths stole several 12-packs of Corona beer, police said.

The youths got into a silver sedan with Virginia plates and left the scene; a highway patrol unit spotted the vehicle, initiated a stop, and found the proceeds of the theft within the vehicle, police said.

The driver, Oscar Mayen-Orrego, 20, was unable to produce valid identification and gave a fictitious name, police said. He was transported to police headquarters where a fingerprint inquiry proved that he had previously been detained by federal authorities under the name of Oscar Mayen-Orrego, police said.

Another man, Rolman Roberto Garcia-Xicay, also provided a false name and possessed a forged Social Security Card matching the false name, police said. He later admitted to giving the false name, police said. He was transported to police headquarters where a fingerprint inquiry showed he was also previously detained by federal authorities under a different name, police said.

The investigation revealed that it was two juveniles in the vehicle who had stolen the beer from gas station; the juveniles were transported to police headquarters and were released to family, police said. A fifth individual in the vehicle was free to go after it was determined that he had not committed any offenses, police said.

Garcia-Xicay was arrested and charged with second degree possession of a forged instrument degree and false personation, police said.

Mayen-Orrego was arrested and charged with false personation, unlicensed operator and having an open alcoholic beverage in a vehicle, police said.

Both men were held overnight and were scheduled to be arraigned in Southold Town Justice Court Friday morning, police said.
