Two more men accused of vandalizing Rye Playland have turned themselves in to police.
Connor Evancho, 20, and Daniel Bracco, 19, surrendered to Westchester County Police on Monday.
Anthony Conkling, 19, of Wyckoff, N.J., turned himself in last week.
Police say the three New Jersey men broke into Playland in the overnight hours of Sept. 23–24 and caused $57,000 in damage.
The suspects allegedly arrived on the Playland beach in a small boat shortly before midnight and climbed a fence to enter the amusement area.
Once inside, they vandalized an electrical room, cutting or ripping out fiber optic cables for phone and internet service. They also stole 200 stuffed animals, hauling them away in garbage bags, and tried to throw a photo booth off the boardwalk but failed.
The boat used in the incident was apparently taken from, and returned to, a boat club in Connecticut.
All three men are charged with Burglary 3rd Degree and Criminal Mischief 2nd Degree, both felonies; and Criminal Trespass 2nd Degree and Petit Larceny, both misdemeanors. Each was released on his own recognizance following arraignment in Rye City Court.
