East Hampton Village

At around 2 p.m. on Saturday, police logged a complaint about loud music from a band playing on Borden Lane. Officers discovered a small party for children, with one person playing a guitar, and left without incident.

 That night, at 11:01 p.m. — one minute after loud-music cutoff time — a caller reported raucous noise and a party at a house near the intersection of Pleasant and Newtown Lanes. Officers found a small party happening, but no music. About an hour later, at 12:03 a.m., another caller complained of loud music coming from the same house. Once again, however, police found only a group of people laughing and talking. The partygoers were asked to respect the neighbors and speak more quietly.

The driver of a GMC LED billboard-ad truck, parked Saturday afternoon in front of 94 Main Street, was informed by police that such vehicles are not allowed to park on village streets. The driver turned off the lighted billboard and left.

Police received a call on Aug. 23 about an abandoned black Honda motorcycle at the corner of Buell Lane and Church Street. A nearby resident said it had been there for a few days. The circa-1980 vehicle was impounded, and a helmet was put in the police property room for safekeeping.

Montauk

A Montana woman emailed the Royal Atlantic on July 23 to let them know that her Visa debit card had been used to reserve a room at the resort. She was overdrawn by $2,032.14. A property manager checked the reservation and determined that an unnamed person in Room 235 had charged the room to the caller. The woman said she’d already deactivated the card and would be filing a fraud claim.

Springs

Katrina Dupont of Providence, R.I., was driving on Springs-Fireplace Road near Hog Creek Road last Thursday when a deer ran into the road. She swerved to avoid it, and hit a tree. She later told police that she’d left the scene to take her dogs home, and when she returned to the vehicle via foot, it was gone. Police determined that it had already been towed.
