A Montauk woman, dining at Simply Sublime, a food shop on Springs-Fireplace Road, was targeted there by an angry ex-boyfriend on the afternoon of Jan. 21. Macarena Ramos told police she had met him there to return an iPod he had given her some time ago. He arrived at the shop with another man, who, she said, dumped a noxious liquid on her. The men then drove away. She did not press charges, but wanted police to be aware of the incident.

East Hampton Village

The resident and owner of a house on Huntting Lane, which is frequently visited by police, received another call on Jan. 23. The homeowner told police that he saw someone looking in his garage windows. The alleged peeper was questioned and explained that he thought the house was abandoned and was curious. He apologized to the owner. Neither man’s name appeared on the report.

Police were called to a Church Street residence on the morning of Jan. 25. A man, who did not live there, had placed a bicycle next to the garage and walked away. The mystery was soon solved. He was found working  next door, and told police he had put the bicycle where he did “because he did not want his bike to get stolen off the job site.” Again, he was not named.

When Raymond Bimson went kite boarding in the water in front of the Ocean Resort Inn on South Emerson Avenue Saturday afternoon, he left a second board, made by North Kite, in the sand. When he returned 20 minutes later, it was gone.

Eva Moore of West lake Drive was the apparent victim of a scam last week. She told police Friday afternoon that she had been contacted by someone who said he was from Morocco and asked her to pay for a service she was being provided. Details of the transaction were deleted from the report but it was noted that she was told to buy iTunes cards and to transfer those funds to a MoneyGram, which police said she did. The total loss could be well over $1,000, although she said she had contacted her bank and iTunes to ask for an investigation.

A Village employee, Mark Balserus, found a plastic bag of marijuana outside police headquarters on Division Street at around noon Friday. Police checked a surveillance video but determined that the bag ended up where it did after being “blown in the wind.” There had been a major storm that day.

On Jan. 24, Peter Rocker called police, alerting them that the previous morning, a woman in a purple coat had looked into the windows of his mother’s house on Lighthouse Lane, while also trying the doors. Police are monitoring the situation.

John R. Eberhardt, who lives on Dartmouth Road, reported on Monday that his wallet had been stolen from his room sometime that morning. He had left the wallet in a pocket in his slacks when he went to sleep around 2 a.m. When he awoke, it was gone. There was no sign of forced entry to the room, police said.

A village resident called police, reporting that a manager at the John Jermain Memorial Library had been abusive on Saturday afternoon. Brenda McClean said she had returned a video and paid her overdue fees, when she realized she had returned a video she had wanted to re-rent. According to the police report, Ms. McClean’s daughter had inadvertently placed the video she wanted to re-rent in the wrong case. She said she complained and was asked to leave. She asked that an officer accompany her back to the library to tell the manager to “speak nicer to her.” When they arrived, it was closed.
