Many have recirculated the photo, which shows a large group disembarking with suitcases and other bags and belongings. Lisa Finn reports on Patch.com that the photo has sparked an outcry on social media, many expressing concerns about the possibility that migrants have been sent from New York City to the area. Those posting commented on the new suitcases the group appeared to be carrying and the fact that cars were waiting to pick them up. Southampton Town Police Lt. Todd Spencer said a “suspicious incident” had been reported to the department Tuesday at 7:27 p.m. “The reporting officer received multiple reports of a large white van unloading approximately 40 to 50 individuals with luggage in the parking lot in front of Macy’s. Upon arrival, the bus was no longer on scene,” and the individuals were gone, as well, the report said. An officer interviewed a man who said that he’d seen the bus and the people, who were all picked up by cars within minutes of unloading, the report said. Police searched the area for the bus without success.
