Police raid Shinnecock Reservation, guns, drugs seized SOUTHAMPTON, N.Y. -- Authorities conducted a pre-dawn raid Thursday on the Shinnecock Indian Reservation and other locations on eastern Long Island that led to several arrests and the seizure of illegal guns and narcotics.
Robert Clifford, a spokesman for District Attorney Thomas Spota, confirmed state police and investigators from the DA's office had made arrests, but declined to elaborate, citing ongoing operations. "
A joint Suffolk district attorney's office and New York State Police narcotics and illegal weapons enforcement action is focused on the Shinnecock Indian Reservation," Clifford said.
The raid began shortly before 5 a.m.
A spokeswoman for the Shinnecock Indian Nation told Newsday a police raid had occurred on the reservation but said the tribe would have no comment until it could prepare a statement.
