A woman has been charged with stealing a purse from a parishioner at her hometown church during a Christmas Eve Mass.
Tara Costello, 45, was taken into custody along with her boyfriend, 51-year-old Michael Cuozzp, at their home in Greenlawn on New Year's Day, the Suffolk County Police Department said in a press release.
The pair, who have three children together, were charged with fourth-degree grand larceny for allegedly stealing purses containing credit cards at Blackstone Steakhouse in Melville; at McKeown’s Pub in Huntington, and at a Jenny Craig weight loss center in Huntington Station between December 23-26.
