FREEPORT, NY — A Freeport man was arrested on Friday after being caught in a stolen car in Westbury, Nassau police said.

Officers investigating a suspicious vehicle on Waterbury Lane near a burglary-prone location in Westbury conducted a traffic stop and saw Jose Holguin, 40, laying across the back seat of a 2010 GMC Acadia, police said, adding that further investigation found the vehicle was reported stolen earlier in the day.
