Three men in short-sleeve shirts, one of them with arm tattoos, are pictured in surveillance images at the Montauk service station, where they are said to have broken two planters, damaged the inside of an oil delivery truck, and stolen paperwork from the truck. The incident occurred at approximately 2:20 a.m. The trio fled on foot.

Suffolk County Crime Stoppers is offering a cash reward for information leading to an arrest. Anonymous tips can be shared by phoning 1-800-220-TIPS, by using a mobile app called P3Tips, or by visiting the website p3tips.com.
