Amagansett
The bathroom at Fresh Pond Beach was vandalized on Friday, its sink dislodged from the wall and broken into pieces. Steven Verdugo, a parks department employee, reported the damage.
East Hampton
After receiving a congratulatory call on the afternoon of July 27, an East Hampton woman thought she had won $25 million in a Publisher’s Clearing House giveaway. All she had to do to collect, said the caller, was to wire $850 to an undisclosed Chase Bank branch. She contacted police last Thursday after realizing she’d been scammed.
Patricia Hollmann, manager of Amagansett’s Devon Yacht Club, called police on Aug. 10 after an employee at Main Beach told her he’d seen a parking permit that said “Devon Yacht Club Lifeguard.” That was a fraudulent pass, she told police. Officers tracked the vehicle to its registered owner’s address in East Hampton Village, but did not find the car, nor did anyone answer the door.
Someone jumped over the front gate at 105 Buell Lane on the afternoon of Aug. 7 and began taking pictures of an ongoing construction job there. A site manager reported the incident and requested extra patrols on the street.
Montauk
Loraine DeRose, proprietor of the Snug Harbor Motel on Star Island Road, reported the theft of the motel’s reservation log on the afternoon of Aug. 7, a Sunday. The log contained guests’ personal information, including credit card numbers.
Matthew Yudelson, property manager of the residential clubhouse at 100 DeForest Road, told police that on Aug. 6 between 8 and 10 p.m. someone tried and failed to break into the club, causing $2,500 in damage to a sliding door and a door seal. The vandal will be charged with criminal mischief if found.
The restroom at Gin Beach was vandalized on July 23. Steven Verdugo, the same parks department employee who found Friday’s damage at Fresh Pond in Amagansett, reported this as well: A soap dispenser in the men’s room was ripped off the wall and a lightbulb was smashed. Repairs will cost about $300.
Sag Harbor
Two people called police Saturday afternoon to report a disruptive customer at Chase Bank on Main Street. The woman wanted to take money out of her account, but did not have the proper photo identification, her driver’s license having been suspended and then confiscated by Sag Harbor police. The issue was resolved, police said, when the license was returned to her.
On Aug. 10 around noon a large sign, reading “Let’s Go Brandon,” was noticed on the northbound shoulder of Hampton Street, near Jermain Avenue. The sign was removed, but was too large to fit into a police cruiser and was left by the side of the road for a town highway crew to deal with.
Springs
Anthony Waltz, a director of the Clearwater Beach Association, reported two recent incidents of graffiti at the beach club. On July 20 the word “Cannibal” was found spray-painted on a beach association sign, and on the night of July 22, “Crusty” was found on another club sign.
