A caller reported an injured seal on the sand between Georgica and Main Beach last week. An officer took photographs and sent them to the Riverhead Foundation for Marine Research.

A Harbor View Drive family called police April 26, concerned about a local resident who, they said, continually pulls up in front of their house, shouts obscenities, then does “burn outs” with his tires.
