A Southampton man was arrested by State Police on charges of possessing three stolen cars, officials said Friday.
David Trotman, 32, of the Shinnecock Indian Reservation, was arrested Friday and charged with three counts of third-degree criminal possession of stolen property, the State Police said in a news release.
Two of the stolen vehicles were recovered on the Shinnecock Indian Reservation and the third was recovered from a local train station, police said. All three of the vehicles were reported stolen in the Village of Southampton, police said.
