NEW YORK (AP) — A trio of New Jersey men have been arrested following a vandalism spree at a New York amusement park that involved slashing cables, stealing stuffed animals and a rowboat escape, police said. The men — a 20-year-old and two 19-year-olds — have all surrendered in recent days to Westchester County police their role in the Sept. 23 break-in at Rye Playland, which caused an estimated $57,000 in damages. Police said the three friends arrived at the waterfront park before midnight on a small boat they had apparently taken from a marina in Connecticut, on the other side of the Long Island Sound.
