HAMPTON BAYS, Suffolk County (WABC) -- A grocery store mystery is unfolding on Long Island.

Police are looking for the person or persons who rolled off with more than six dozen shopping carts from a Suffolk County supermarket.

Investigators say the carts were stolen over the course of one week earlier this month.

It is not clear why they were taken.
