Here are the top three stories in Sachem today:

1. Medford man arrested for stealing two catalytic converters. A Rocky Point barbershop owner saw a suspicious man walking his parking lot around 9 a.m. Saturday. Johnnie Can ran outside to stop him and realized he stole two catalytic converters from a box truck in the back of his business. "I walked outside, next thing you know, I saw him with a Sawzall in his hand and a converter in the other hand," he said. "He attacked me with the Sawzall. I grabbed the Sawzall from his hand, we got into a little wrestle. I grab him by the neck, next thing you know, I took his car keys out from the ignition so he knew he couldn't go nowhere." Daniel Labbe, 42,was tracked down after fleeing and arrested. He faces multiple charges. (News12)
