An East Hampton man was arrested late last month after a lengthy investigation into more than $25,000 in stolen landscaping and construction equipment.

A Montauk man wired $29,290 to a Wells Fargo account, which he was given by someone claiming to be from Apple. He filed a report on the scheme to defraud him on Oct. 23.

A renter found a handgun while walking on the beach directly behind the house he was renting on Redwood Road last Thursday afternoon. An officer took the gun, a Colt .380-caliber with a magazine and holster attached, into evidence. The gun appeared to have been in the water for some time, according to Chief Austin J. McGuire.

The East End D.W.I. Task Force was on patrol Friday night, the day after Thanksgiving, yielding one arrest.
