The pair then left the residence and left the area in a taxi. They were stopped by police on Route 25 in Cutchogue and arrested.
Hansen is charged with burglary in the first degree, criminal use of a firearm in the first degree, and criminal possession of a weapon in the third degree, police said. Ovsianik is charged with burglary in the first degree. Additional charges for both suspects are likely to follow, police said.
They were held at Southold Town Police headquarters pending arraignment in justice court.
