Local police quickly caught a purse snatcher last night in Bridgehampton following a brief, but undoubtedly dramatic, car chase. After a woman reported the incident on Main Street, the Hamptons' finest sprung into action. 'With help from a state police search dog team, a Suffolk police helicopter unit and Sag Harbor police officers who set up a search perimeter, the Southampton police found the suspect on the Bridgehampton Sag Harbor Turnpike.' While it's not quite a white Bronco on the freeway, we'll take it. [Newsday]
