A Carpenter Is Charged

A Sag Harbor carpenter was arrested Monday in East Hampton Village on two felony counts of burglary, as well as possession of stolen property. His victim, village police said, was a client on Huntting Lane.

Police Department Made Do With Less in 2014

The East Hampton Town police had to do more with less in 2014, according to an annual report released by the department, as presented to the town board on Tuesday by Chief Michael D. Sarlo. The department saw a record number of calls to action for a force that shrunk by one, with a sharp drop in penal law arrests.

The retirements of six senior personnel, including three of the department’s top detectives, as well as Edward V. Ecker Jr., the former chief, has necessitated shifting officers into new jobs, with new responsibilities that require training, Chief Sarlo said on Tuesday.
