SAG HARBOR VILLAGE — Village Police arrested a Sag Harbor Village resident, Sofia Fernandez Nava, 27, last Thursday afternoon on a misdemeanor charge of petty larceny. It appears from the arrest report that Fernandez Nava made two classic mistakes, if in fact, she is guilty as charged: She did not look up to look for surveillance cameras, and she returned to the scene of the crime. Police said that Fernandez Nava entered a boutique on Main Street on February 23. According to the report, Fernandez Nava picked up a dress valued at $595 and went into the changing room, and without closing the curtain, placed the dress inside her bag. Fernandez Navas then is said to have walked around the store for a few minutes before leaving without paying for the dress. What she did not realize was that there was a surveillance camera in the store, as well as outside on the street. Fernandez Nava was arrested early Thursday afternoon, on Main Street at the same address as the boutique’s location, the report states.
