It was reported on December 14, 1924 in the New York Times, that a gang of bandits were seen stealing cars, liquor, and cash from drivers between the South Huntington and Brentwood Stations.  At least ten robberies have taken place although it is believed that there were more drivers who did not report a robbery because they were carrying liquor in their car at the time of the robbery.  Due to probation many victims did not want to reveal that they were transporting liquor. Also homes between these two stations were being robbed of their liquor.

W.K. Brice a stockbroker who owned a summer home in South Huntington was robbed at gun point when the same gang possessing as police gained access to the home.  They forced their way into the home and robbed the household wine cellar of 75 cases of liquor.  Many of the bottles of liquor were purchased before the probation.  The estimated cost of the liquor was $10,000.   A motor truck was backed up to the cellar window and the liquor was transferred to the truck through the window.  An article did not appear in the newspaper as to the capture of this gang as of a later date.
