A suspect has been arrested over the notorious Gilgo Beach murders of up to 10 women on Long Island, according to a report Friday.
Multiple sources confirmed the arrest to News 12 Long Island, which said that First Avenue in Massapequa Park was “just flooded with police.”State and Suffolk County police — both at the scene — did not confirm the arrest, the outlet said.
News 12 did not identify the suspect or detail what led to the reported breakthrough in what it called “one of the most intense, prolific searches for a serial killer ever.”
A spokesperson for Suffolk County Police was unable to confirm the arrest to The Post early Friday.


Fears of a serial killer emerged when the body of Melissa Barthelemy, 24, was found along Ocean Parkway on Dec. 11, 2010 — with the remains of three other women then found in the following days.

By spring 2011, the number had climbed to 10 — eight women as well as an unidentified man and toddler.
Friday’s reported arrest came after Suffolk County’s new police commissioner created a special Gilgo Beach Homicide Investigation Task Force in February last year.
It included help from state police, local sheriffs, the Suffolk County District Attorney’s Office as well as the FBI.
