An Amity Harbor woman was at Sloppy Tuna early on the morning of May 25 when her purse was stolen. In it was an iPhone 6, $100 in cash, and several credit cards. Marianne Bagatta, who said her driver’s license was also in the purse, valued the missing phone at over $700.

After being away from their Augie’s Path house for a little over two weeks, a couple returned last Thursday to find two fiberglass flower pots missing.

There was no sign of entry.



A Montauk woman who parked her 2011 Mitsubishi late on May 25 outside an Atlantic Street house was the victim of a vandal, who smashed her side mirror. Police appear to have a suspect in mind, judging from the heavily redacted report.



Sag Harbor



A passerby noticed on the evening of May 27 that a candle had been left burning in the Monika Olko Gallery on Main Street. The fire department was called to stand by, but the gallery owner returned to the store to blow out the candle.



A man was assaulted early last Thursday morning after leaving a second tip at Page Restaurant for the bartender. Jose C. DeLeon told police he had left more money on the bar, which apparently enraged his roommate, who had already left a tip. When the men returned to their Suffolk Street residence, the roommate “sucker-punched” Mr. DeLeon, he told police, then stabbed him in the bicep with a fork.



Tracy Lapaggia called police last Thursday night after spotting several ducks trapped in a storm sewer at Bay Street and Marine Park Drive. Officers arrived and rescued the ducks.

Springs



A Victoria’s Secret purse containing $20 and about $200 worth of makeup disappeared during a party on Deep Six Drive on May 22. Emily Campbell told police she and her boyfriend had invited mostly close friends and family to the party, but there were a few people there she did not know.    



After Richard Kalbacher’s American Express card disappeared last month, the company sent him a replacement card; it now turns out that both credit cards were stolen. The thief ordered items worth over $3,000 on the cards, most of which American Express has refunded. Detectives are investigating.



On the afternoon of May 10, a man attacked Gustavo Coria in theMaidstone Park Road parking lot. Mr. Coria, who suffered a cut in his mouth and a facial laceration, told police the man was with a woman in a gray Toyota Camry, and that several other people were in the lot at the time. He said he had seen the man before but did not know his name.



On May 9, two code enforcement officers called police from the Springs Firehouse after a heated run-in with an Isle of Wight Road man. Aldi Binozi said that he and the other officer, who was not identified, had knocked on the man’s door, told him they were there to follow up on a violation, and asked him for identification. The man gave them his I.D., then told them he had fixed the problem, which involved leaves in his front yard. He then demanded his I.D. back, Mr. Binozi told police, and that the code enforcement officers leave the property at once. Mr. Binozi said the man was “agitated and raising his voice, while pointing his finger” in Mr. Binozi’s face. The officers tried to call police from the driveway, but could not get a cellphone signal. They then went to the firehouse. The resident’s name was redacted from the report.
