Riverhead Police were initially called in October 2021 with reports that three men had stolen merchandise from the Home Depot on Old Country Road.
The thieves grabbed more than $1,500 worth of roofing shingles before leaving the store without paying, police said.
Investigators eventually identified all three suspects, but no arrests would come for over a year.
That is until Friday, Dec. 9, when Riverhead Police announced they had nabbed one of the suspects, 38-year-old Miles Connors, a resident of the United Kingdom.
His arrest was the culmination of a joint effort between local authorities and federal agents from Homeland Security Investigations, police said.
Connors is now facing a charge of fourth-degree grand larceny.
Police are still trying to locate the other two suspects.
Anyone with information is asked to contact the Riverhead Town Police Department at 631-727-3333.
