Remember to Lock Your Cars, Cops Say

Tue, 10/12/2021 - 10:39

In recent weeks, the East Hampton Town Police Department has received enough reports of items missing from vehicles to call them "a string of larcenies." In most of the incidents, the cars were unlocked and parked in people's driveways.

Via Facebook, the Police Department has reminded people to lock their cars, remove any valuables, and generally be aware of suspicious activity, particularly at night. Police are also encouraging people to monitor their doorbell cameras and alarm systems for any suspicious activity.

"The eyes and ears of the community help us keep you safe," the department said in a statement.

Reports can be called in to 631-537-7575.

Time to Strip, Dip, Freeze

Polar plunges at Main Beach in East Hampton and Beach Lane in Wainscott on New Year’s Day accomplish many things: bracing and exhilarating starts to the year, the company of many hundreds of friends and fellow townspeople, and a chance to secure bragging rights that extend well into 2026. But most important, each serves as a critical fund-raiser for food pantries.
