On July 23, a pair of women stole $520 worth of clothing from the ATM Anthony Thomas Melillo store at 20 Newtown Lane in East Hampton Village. Suffolk County Crime Stoppers and East Hampton Village Police Department detectives are seeking help from the public and offering a cash reward of up to $5,000 for any information on the women, who were in the store at 4:53 p.m.

Security camera footage shows the women putting the clothing into their bags. One of the suspects appears to have a tattoo on her right thigh and ankle. Anyone who can help law enforcement make an arrest with information regarding the shoplifters' identity or location has been asked to call 1-800-220-TIPS to submit an anonymous tip to Suffolk County Crime Stoppers.

Anonymous tips can also be submitted using a mobile app, downloadable through the App Store or Google Play by searching P3 Tips, or online at P3Tips.com. All calls, texts, and emails will be kept confidential.

She asked him to test the entry code for the room and closed the door behind him. He left when he was unable to unlock the door.
