Wells police charged five people with criminal trespass for throwing a party in a vacant house late Monday night.
Officers checking on the vacant house at 503 Ocean Ave. found a group of adults from York and South Carolina having a “pirate party” to celebrate Hurricane Sandy, said. Lt. Jerry Congdon.
“I don’t know how they found this place,” Congdon said. “They were pretty well inebriated when we arrived.”
Congdon said the five party-goers were burning driftwood in the fireplace and were cooking fried chicken. As many as 15 people had been at the party earlier in the evening, he said.
All were charged with criminal trespass and are scheduled to appear Jan. 23 in York District Court. Their names were not immediately available because power at the police station was spotty Tuesday morning, Congdon said.
