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.

Employees of Montauk's Memory Motel called police at 1:25 a.m. Saturday to have a man “known to them to have no money” removed from the bar. The man had been refusing to leave, but complied when the request came from an officer. He promised to take a train or bus back home to Brooklyn, but showed up a couple of hours later at 7-Eleven, attempting to use “multiple bank cards” to pay for merchandise. He was also said to have made “a threatening statement,” and was taken in the end to Stony Brook Southampton Hospital for evaluation.

On April 30, police got a call from a passer-by about “a male subject opening doors with a crowbar” at the Sands Motel. Upon investigation, it was learned that the man was an employee performing renovations and maintenance. “The salt air environment often causes the door locks to freeze, therefore he has to force the doors open with a bar,” officers reported.
