• Westbury Man Pleads Guilty to Drug Sales, Possessing Explosives (lilifepolitics.com) — A Westbury resident has pleaded guilty to felony drug sales and possessing explosive materials after investigators found large quantities of narcotics and improvised explosive devices in his Cantiague Lane home. Authorities say the case highlights gaps in New York’s drug laws around powerful synthetic opioids like nitazenes. Sentencing is scheduled for August, with prosecutors seeking a multi-year prison term. 
• Westbury native Gerald Elias and his recently published book (longislandpress.com) — A mystery author and professional violinist who grew up in Westbury and attended Westbury High School has released a new crime-story collection inspired by his travels, including some tales set on Long Island. He says his upbeat retired-cop protagonist reflects the straightforward, local sensibility he absorbed here. A sequel taking the characters abroad is already in the works.
