Amagansett

Marvin Noel Yanes left a gold Samsung 7S cellphone on one of the counters at Brent’s General Store on Saturday at about 7:30 p.m. while shopping. He told police he forgot to pick it up when he left the store and that it was gone when he returned some 20 minutes later. The phone was valued at $840.

East Hampton

A 17-year-old East Hampton High School student called police from his nearby residence on the evening of Nov. 21, reporting that the screen on his Apple iPhone 6S Plus had been smashed, apparently by a fellow student that afternoon. The case was assigned to the Police Department’s school liaison. 

An East Hampton man trying to break up a fight involving three brothers and another man at the town’s soccer fields on Stephen Hand’s Path early on the evening of Nov. 19 wound up with a badly bloodied nose. The brothers apparently turned and began punching him in the face. The injured person, Fabian Arcenio Camacho-Quiroz, was told to go to the hospital and that a statement would be taken after he was treated and released.

Lois Wright, a Windmill Village resident, is missing articles valued at over $2,000. She told police on Nov. 22 that someone had entered her apartment without permission. There was no sign of forcible entry, and police classified the incident as a burglary.

East Hampton Village

Police received a complaint that a large pile of leaves was blocking traffic at the intersection of Georgica Road and Crossways. “Leaves are partially in roadway but not impeding traffic,” the investigating officer reported.

Another officer was dispatched to Main Street to investigate possible criminal mischief damaging a 2010 BMW. It was determined that the driver, a 76-year-old woman, who apparently was not the vehicle’s owner, “was not familiar with the power button feature that closes the side mirrors” and assumed the worst. 

Police visited a Georgica Road estate Friday afternoon, after they received a report  that a deer was trapped in a fenced-in area.  According to the report, the deer “finally escaped through a hole in the fence.”

Montauk 

A John Deere pallet fork attachment disappeared from a Fairview Avenue property where a house is under construction. Chris Robins told police on Nov. 22 that the attachment, which would require several men to lift, had been left in the driveway near the road the previous afternoon. He valued it at $2,000.

Northwest Woods

A 2008 BMW was reported stolen from the driveway of a Buffalo Path residence Friday afternoon by Keith Kevan, who said he had last seen it on Halloween. It appears from the heavily redacted report that a family member may have borrowed the car. The case was closed the same day, with the notation, “No further police action needed at this time.”

The owner of an Old House Landing Road property where a house is under construction called police from his residence in Syosset on Thanksgiving. Evan Lewitas said he had received a security alert that there was an intruder in the house. It was the second time in four days Mr. Lewitas had called. On Nov. 20, officers had found a man on the property. It is not clear from the two heavily redacted reports what the suspect told police, but he apparently had seen a door open, and believed he had the right to enter the property. Mr. Lewitas told police he didn’t want to press charges, but would do so if the suspect trespassed again.

Sag Harbor

Jose Guzman’s wallet went missing at Sag Town Coffee Friday morning. He explained that he had spilled coffee, and placed the wallet on the counter while he cleaned it up. The wallet was found about a half-hour later, with the contents in place, in a garbage pail in the popular coffee house. It was surmised that the wallet had been thrown away accidentally. 

Paul Del Favero, chef of the Harbor Market and Kitchen, told police Monday that five days earlier it appeared that someone had climbed onto a wood cabinet outside a neighboring Division Street residence and tried to gain access to the second floor of the business. In doing so, several screened windows were damaged, police said.

 

Springs

A Neck Path man, Guy Bennett, called police Friday evening to report the theft of a prescription drug. Mr. Bennett told police his estranged girlfriend had permission to be in the house where the drug was kept and that he wanted the incident recorded although he did not wish to press charges. 

A Montauk Boulevard 18-year-old told police on Nov. 21 that she had received a bill from the Long Island Rail Road for seven trips between late June and mid-July. She said she had lost her driver’s license in Port Jefferson in June. Someone apparently found it and used it as identification when challenged for riding on a train without paying for a ticket. When conductors find someone without money, they generally issue a bill based on the ID presented. East Hampton Town police told the young woman to report what they classified as an identity theft to the Metropolitan Transportation Agency police.
