East Hampton

Jason A. Gutterman was in his office at the Dutch Motel on Pantigo Road when he heard a crash, and then another. Looking out the window, he saw a man standing by his car, a 1994 Chrysler Concord, then racing away. Mr. Gutterman ran out to the parking lot to find that the Chrysler’s rear window and front windshield had been smashed. He estimated repairs at $750.

Police were called to Long Lane last Thursday afternoon. Tony Bennett, a town employee, was mowing grass on the road shoulder when a rock shot out of the mower, striking and shattering the rear window of a 2008 Dodge belonging to Camille Cutler of Manorville. It was unclear from the report whether the car was parked or being driven when it happened.

 

East Hampton Village

An Apaquogue Road resident complained to police on June 5 that a deer had been inside her fenced yard for several days. Police suggested that she open her gate.

A Hewlett man who, with his wife, had spent the weekend at a Jones Cove Road house, told police on June 6 that she had removed her Rolex watch while on the treadmill and forgotten to put it back on. After they left, he said, a man who works for him texted that she had left her hair dryer behind, but never mentioned the watch, leading the couple, who were not identified, to believe it had been stolen. They said they did not want to press charges at this time.

A 17-year-old from New York City told police on June 7 that her MacBook Pro, valued at $1,200, had disappeared from a Hampton Jitney bus during her return trip to the city on June 1. She called the Jitney office but was told it had not been turned in. Village police told the teen she needed to talk to New York police, since the bus was in the city when she last saw the laptop.

Police were sent to 1 Lily Pond Lane early Sunday morning after receiving a complaint that people were shouting and playing loud music. The 22-year-old man who answered the door agreed to turn off the music, and the shouting stopped.

Montauk

Tom McMorrow, a Star reporter, called police early Monday, complaining about what he said was an ongoing problem. Every Sunday night after finishing a weekend of work, he said, the summer occupants of the former Neptune Motel sit on a deck facing his residence and let off steam. Things quieted down after police paid the revelers a visit.

Springs

The co-owners of the Barnes Country Store building went to police headquarters Sunday to register a complaint. Lenny Weyerbacher and Barbara Lamonda told police that between April 25 and May 25, they were issued a series of bad checks by someone they had been doing business with. Two of the checks were for over $700. Police did not release the name of the person involved, but are investigating the matter as a potential felony, and asked the owners to bring in letters of complaint from their respective banks. The store itself is closed.
