East Hampton

A woman who returned last week to her Cutter Court house found that four driveway lights had been smashed over the winter or early spring. Susan Amerling-Stern said it would cost about $100 to replace them.

A screen on a residence in the Oakview Highway trailer park was slashed Saturday evening. Luz Ramirez told police her mother had seen someone walk through the yard.

 

East Hampton Village

Police wrote up a couple of dog walkers last week, saying they had failed to clean up after their pets. One got a summons on Main Beach the morning of May 12, and another was cited last Thursday morning on Two Mile Hollow Beach.

Police were sent by a neighbor on David’s Lane down a long driveway off Main Street just after midnight Friday, in response to a noise complaint. The young woman who answered the door agreed to bring the volume down.

 

Sag Harbor

A Terry Drive house was apparently entered during the winter and at least briefly lived in. Thomas Amos told police that he closed the house in October, shutting off the electricity and water and stripping the beds. He returned last Thursday to find that the electricity was on, though not the water, and that someone had used a toilet in the upstairs bathroom, causing damage to the pipes. The ground floor bedroom appeared to have been slept in, he said. Mr. Amos estimated plumbing repairs at $400.

A 2014 black Chevrolet Suburban was missing from its Redwood Road driveway the morning of May 12. Sydney Albertini told police she had left the keys in the center console the night before. Police found the vehicle that afternoon, keys still in console, parked at the intersection of Division and Burke Streets.

Police went to Sag Harbor Elementary School the night of May 12 after receiving a complaint that teens were skateboarding on the grounds. By the time police arrived, the youths had decamped to Pierson High School. Police warned them not to skateboard on the grounds, and they complied.

 

Springs

A silver aluminum rowboat was stolen overnight from an Isle of Wight Road house on May 3. Dorothy Rossi valued the 1998 boat at $500. She said it was in the front yard when she went to sleep and was gone when she woke up the next morning.

 

Wainscott

An Ardsley Road woman called police on May 10 after discovering that all her gold jewelry, which she valued at $15,000, was missing. Much of the police report was redacted, but it appears the jewelry was recovered by May 12. Rosa Ayala told police she did not want to press charges.

Long Days on the Fire Line In Orange County

East Hampton and Amagansett firefighters volunteered to head north last week to help fight a 5,000-acre wildfire in Orange County, N.Y., not once but twice, battling unfamiliar terrain to do so. “They fight fires completely differently than we do when we have a brush fire,” the Amagansett chief said.

Awards for Good Policing in Handgun Scuffle

“It could have gone worse. We’re lucky that I have officers here that weren’t shot,” said Police Chief Jeff Erickson at Friday’s East Hampton Village Board meeting. Chief Erickson was recognizing Sgt. Wayne Gauger and Officers John Clark and Robbie Greene for a traffic stop on Aug. 31 that turned into a scuffle and the eventual confiscation of an illegal gun.

A Three Mile Harbor Drive resident reported an online dating scam on the afternoon of Nov. 16. Somehow, said the 80-year-old man, a person on the dating platform had gotten his phone number and demanded $2,000 from him, threatening to tell his family he was using the site if he did not comply. Police told the man to block the number.
