Hello, neighbors! In the news today, a man in a lifeguard shirt first chased people on the beach then led a pursuit that ended in a collision; he also burglarized two buildings at Nassau Point, police said.

Also, a heartbreaking end to a search for a Yale staffer after his body was found on a Cutchogue beach.

Finally, Gabrielle Stroup at The League continues her mission to help animals in need. She's fundraising to help a pup get the medical attention he needs to live a pain free life.

Happy Mother's Day weekend!
