East Hampton

A customer at the North Main Street I.G.A. called police on Oct. 21 to complain that store employees weren't wearing face masks. Police found that they all had masks on, and after speaking with the store manager, determined that the complaint was unfounded.

It's 10 p.m.; do you know where your children are? At 10:16 p.m. on Oct. 21, a resident of Oakview Highway did not, and called police for help locating his 11-year-old son. Officers responded and found the boy in the house, where he had been the whole time.

 

East Hampton Village

A Conklin Street resident found his white 2019 Lexus missing from his driveway on the morning of Oct. 19. He had last seen it there the night before at 10, he told police, who listed the vehicle as stolen in a state database and alerted neighboring departments to be on the lookout.

A routine patrol on Ocean Avenue last week resulted in a wrist-slap for a Brooklyn man who was seen placing advertising material into mailboxes. The man told an officer he was working for a magazine distribution company, but did not have a permit to distribute materials in the village. He was told to stop, and given a warning but no citation.

 

Montauk

Broken glass panes in a bus shelter on South Euclid Avenue attracted the attention of a town parks department employee on the morning on Oct. 8. The employee cleaned up the broken glass and filed a criminal mischief report the next day at the police substation in the hamlet.

 

Sag Harbor

Police released surveillance images this week of two men who they say broke into the highway department yard on Columbia Street. The photos were taken from the 7-Eleven on Long Island Avenue and do not show the actual burglary. "We tracked them back to 7-Eleven earlier in the night," Sgt. Michael Labrozzi explained. Anyone with information has been asked to call police at 631-725-0247; all calls are kept confidential.
