Last two boater bros busted for trashing historic Playland amusement park in boneheaded stunt


Then there were three.

The final two New Jersey knuckleheads who boated to the historic Playland amusement park in Westchester County in the dead of night and caused $57,000 in damages have turned themselves in.

County cops said Connor Evancha, 20, of Pompton Lakes, and 19-year-old Daniel Bracco, of Oakland, surrendered at police headquarters Monday and were hit with burglary, trespassing, criminal mischief and petty larceny in the boneheaded incident on Sept. 23.

Their boater bro, Anthony Conklin, of Wykoff, was charged after he turned himself in last week.

The troublemaking trio stole a boat from a Connecticut marina and rowed across the Long Island Sound to the Rye park, landed on the beach and climbed the fence into the park.

Once there, they prowled around the grounds, ripping out fiber optic cables, walking through amusement park rides, and stealing 200 stuffed animals inside garbage backs, according to police.

Surveillance video even captured them trying to tip a photo booth off the boardwalk.

Cops said the suspects then rowed back to the marina, returned the boat and took off.

Cops released the images last month, which led to the arrests.

The senseless vandalism is similar to an incident in June that left the historic Tarrytown Lighthouse trashed and charred with at least $100,000 in damages.

In that case, three teens — Elvin Ayavaca, 18, of White Plains and Richard Barrero, 19, of Harrison, and an unidentified 17-year-old — were arrested and charged with breaking into the 142-year-old landmark, stealing items and setting it on fire
