At about 8:20 p.m. on July 16, there were complaints on Cooper Lane about a loud pool party. The homeowner told police he had rented the house through Airbnb, and the renter said the party would be over by 10.

Another complaint came in as guests were leaving.

Officers were called to a house on Briar Patch Road on Saturday at about 12:30 a.m. after a stranger told security guards he had been invited to the house, which is owned by Beyoncé and Jay-Z. The man had pushed the talk button on the driveway keypad and said he was looking for someone, whose name was redacted from the report. He left the area, but police found him a few driveways away, using a photograph sent to them by the security guards. The man said a friend had invited him to the house and must have been playing a joke. Police escorted him to the East Hampton train station.

While nothing was taken, an orange vintage dress, worth $500, was ripped.

A Trek 720 multi-track mountain bike was stolen from a bike rack at Ditch Plain Beach on July 10. Kenneth W. Trinkus of Amagansett left the bike, without locking it to the rack, at about 1 p.m. Five hours later it was gone. He filed a report the next day, saying the bike was worth $200.

Gray Ryan reported a suspicious vehicle flashing red and blue lights on Ferry Road at around 1 on Saturday afternoon. Mr. Ryan stated that while traveling on Ferry Road, a black Mercedes-Benz sport utility vehicle with New York license plates had pulled out in front of him, causing him to honk his horn. The S.U.V. then stopped in traffic, making Mr. Ryan go around him, and began flashing blue and red lights.

He eventually admitted that he was not a cop, and told Mr. Ryan to just keep moving.
