Huntington teen charged in vandalism to Old Bethpage home, cops say

A Huntington teen has been charged with burglary following the vandalism of a home in Old Bethpage earlier in March, Nassau police said.

Police said Spencer Koch, 18, entered a vacant home on Old Country Road on March 18 at 10 p.m. and damaged the door frame. Koch also broke staircase spindles, police said, and caused more than $1,000 in damages.

An investigation into the vandalism led to his arrest on Tuesday afternoon at his home at 9 Hartman Hill Rd., police said.

Koch is charged with third-degree burglary and is scheduled to be arraigned Wednesday at First District Court in Hempstead.
