A Hampton Bays man working at a construction site on Cranberry Hole Road told police on May 12 that back in February he had lent some tools to a co-worker. The tools — a four-foot level, a set of wrench keys, and a Remington concrete nail gun — were supposed to be returned to Hector Tiama’s vehicle, but he never got them back, he said, and now needs them for work. The value of the missing tools is about $600.

Police released a report on Monday dating back to March, when a park bench was stolen from Shore Road on Napeague, about 50 feet east of Atlantic Drive, where it had been anchored in place by a buried six-foot-long plank. It will cost $350 to replace.

Pamela Glennon of the Spring Close Nursery called police on Sunday regarding an incident that occurred on May 17. A woman had come to her that day, she said, looking for a job, as well as flats of annuals. Ms. Glennon told the woman, who had no cash with her, to return the next morning to start work. The woman then took nine flats of annuals, along with a bag of potting soil, and drove off in an “aqua-colored, older model Chevrolet or GMC pickup, with wooden sides,” saying she would return shortly to pay for the items. She has not been back since.
