Amagansett 

Linda Badkin, who lives in Amagansett, went to police on March 27, after searching her car for $1,200 in cash belonging to her brother, Robert Badkin. Mr. Badkin had left the money in his sister’s car following an accident on March 19, and had been in the hospital since then. When family members went to retrieve the money from the car, which was towed from the accident scene, it was gone.

East Hampton

Police were called to investigate a suspected intruder in a house on Augie’s Path on April 4 at about 10:20 p.m. The caretaker, Anibal E. Urgiles-Ortiz, said the homeowner had called him to say there was an unknown man inside the house between 5:50 and 6:40 p.m., which is under renovation. Police found no one. Later, the homeowner contacted police to say that the man was in charge of pool maintenance.

At about 5:50 a.m. Sunday, in front of 44 Three Mile Harbor Road, two men, both of whom were intoxicated, said a man struck them after asking if they were Uber drivers. Victor Realpe had a cut on his cheek below his right eye, and Mauricio Pesizrentes had a cut on the inside of his lip; his right ring finger may have been jammed as well. The assailant fled before police arrived. The men were not able to give much of a description.

Someone smashed a window on a Chevrolet Silverado pickup truck that was parked early Saturday in a driveway on Crystal Drive. The thief made off with $700 cash from the center console. Nothing was taken from other cars on the property. Josefa P. Villa filed the report on behalf of the truck’s owner, Freddy A. Vazquez, who was not there.

East Hampton Village

An intoxicated 49-year-old Springs man refused to leave Stop and Shop on April 17 at about noon. Police escorted him out of the store and his brother picked him up. 

An officer on patrol found two signs from Bulldogs Camp posted on the corner of Woods Lane and Toilsome Lane on the afternoon of April 17. He then found six more signs on Montauk Highway in the village. Police confiscated the signs, which were in violation of the village code. 

Police were called about an injured seal west of Two Mile Hollow Beach on Friday at about 6 p.m. The seal did appear to have an injured left flipper, and the Riverhead Foundation for Marine Research and Preservation was notified. Other calls this week about seals in distress on the beaches proved to be unnecessary. 

Montauk

Concrete construction forms belonging to the Town Highway Department were taken from South Edison Street and left on South Elmwood Avenue, South Edison Street, and Montauk Highway, with no damage, on April 16 or 17. The department wanted the incident documented. 

Sag Harbor Village

A cash register at Provisions on Main Street was short about $100 last Thursday evening. Surveillance video showed a former employee putting the money into her pocket. No charges were filed, however. 

At about 9 p.m. on Sunday, an intoxicated man allegedly made anti-Semitic comments and someone threw onion rings at a group of people at Baron’s Cove on West Water Street, leading to a fight. A third party separated them before it escalated further.

Springs

Jose R. Arias, an Uber driver, lost $500 in hundred-dollar bills when, just after midnight on April 12, he left his van unattended and unlocked in the Springs Tavern parking lot on Fort Pond Boulevard after dropping a customer there and going in himself. He said he saw a group of five or six men around the van when he came out of the tavern, one of whom was holding a cellphone with the flashlight on. He yelled at them to get away, and one asked for a ride, which he declined. They then ran off. Police were able to find the group near the Maidstone Market, but they did not have the money and no charges were filed.
