A shed outside a residence at an OakviewHighway mobile home park was hit with red spray paint at some point during the day last Thursday.

A 1999 Jeep Wrangler parked outside a Montauk Avenue house overnight on June 4 had all its tires slashed by what appeared to be a serrated knife. Hector Sangacha told police it would cost $900 to repair the tires and that he had no idea who would have done it.

East Hampton Village

A man had been walking down Newtown Lane on the afternoon of June 6 when a black 2015 Nissan drove by and its occupants screamed “Hippie” at him. The car doubled back, with the occupants repeating their performance several times until the Nissan disappeared for good. The man, whom police did not name, wanted the incident documented.

Police were called to Stop and Shop on Newtown Lane on the evening of June 7, where an employee tried to assist an apparently homeless man who was using a self-checkout register. The store manager and the employee told police he had become irate. The investigating officers said the person told them “he does not like to be touched or be near people who have wounds” and that the employee had marks on her arm from an apparent injury. He left the store without incident.

 Le Cirque Auctions, which had an auction scheduled at Race Lane, a restaurant on Race Lane, on Saturday was hit with two summonses. The signs it had posted for the auction violated the village code, officers said.

Montauk

 Tom McMorrow, a reporter for The East Hampton Star who covers police news, discovered that his Giant Rincon mountain bike was missing from the backyard of his Main Street residence when he went to take his daily ride on Tuesday. He told police the bike, which is white with black lettering and shows a good amount of wear, wouldn’t be hard to spot. The bike had a heavy security chain, Mr. McMorrow said, of the type normally associated with New York bike messengers wrapped around the bottom of the seat and frame, which was held in place by a Kryptonite lock, which would be difficult for anyone to remove. He normally used the lock and chain to secure the bike when he had taken it to Manhattan but had not done so in his backyard.

Police were called to the train station on the morning of June 5, where Vincent Sclafani, a Long Island Rail Road conductor, said he had been pushed to the ground by a passenger after attempting to get him off the train. Mr. Sclafani said he told the passenger the train would not be leaving the station for several hours. Police escorted the man to the downtown bus station, where he said he would head west toward home. Mr. Sclafani did not press charges.

A 24-year-old Manhattan man, Doron Jackson Weaver, told police he was punched in the nose by an unknown assailant while at Ruschmeyer’s, a restaurant and bar, at around midnight on June 4. He said he did not see the face of his attacker.

Police reported that the department is investigating the disappearance from the Crow’s Nest restaurant on May 28 of what was described as a vintage LL Bean book.

In what has become a familiar, if unfortunate, occurrence, Matthew Duddy of Terryville, N.Y., told police last Thursday that in January he had sent someone who claimed to own a house on South Emerson Avenue $1,400 for a weekend rental advertised on Craigslist. He learned otherwise when he showed up at the house and the real owner gave him the news that he had been taken.

Sag Harbor

A Friday evening birthday party for a 10-year-old on Bay Street was too loud for a neighbor who called police. The mother of the child told police she would lower the sound and that the party was about to end.

There were three noise complaints in residential areas on Saturday night. The first came from a Madison Street woman. Police found six teens on a deck in a backyard there but nothing illegal occurring. The second call came from an Oakland Avenue woman. Police found music coming from speakers on the back porch of a house at 28 Oakland Avenue. No one seemed to be there when police knocked on the door, and an officer shut the speakers off. A third call brought police to a Harbor Avenue house, where they said under-age youths were partying, with some smoking marijuana and drinking alcohol. The owner of the house, who was the father of one of the teens, was upstairs watching a movie when police arrived. They warned the man, whose name was not provided, that he was legally liable for the actions of minors. The party quickly came to an end.

Andrew Grossman reported that two photographs, each valued at $12,500, had been stolen from a storage container on his Howard Street property. The storage container was unlocked, he said, and workmen would have had access to it. One of the pictures was of David Bowie, the other of the Beatles.

Robert Fitzpatrick went to Division Street police headquarters last Thursday to say he had refused to pay a nail salon’s bill because it had used a noxious, apparently illegal, chemical. Police advised him to pay the bill, and he reported later that the salon had stopped using the offending chemical.

Springs

Jonathan Bustos Ciaya of East Amagansett Drive reported that he had been harassed and attacked by a man while walking on Accabonac Road. The assailant’s identity was blacked out of the report, which said Mr. Busos Ciaya had received several punches, which led to the two men wrestling on the ground. It is not clear from the redacted report what ended the fight, but Mr. Bustos-Ciaya’s black Banana Republic jacket was torn as a result. He did not press charges, but wanted the incident documented.
