Amagansett

A driver for Lindy’s Taxi was behind the wheel of a 2008 Ford Econoline van on Abraham’s Path near Town Lane early Saturday morning when someone threw a rock that smashed its left rear window. Amanda Allen of Mastic Beach told police she did not see the vandal, that she did not have a passenger at the time, and that the repair would cost about $300.

 East Hampton Village

Police were called to the Maidstone Club’s beach parking lot on June 26. One of the club’s security staff told police a pickup had been parked in the lot with a note saying the owner would pick it up. Police contacted the owner who explained that it had broken down and that a truck from Balcuns Service Center was on the way.

The police received another call from the club Saturday evening. The head of security told them 30 or so youths were congregating on the public beach in front of the club and he wanted to make sure they would not trespass on the private club’s property or cabanas. The officer advised the group of the club’s concerns, the report reads. “All parties agreed to stay on the public beach.”

Noise took police to a Pantigo Road house at around 11 p.m. Saturday. The noise, it turned out, was from children playing in an outdoor pool. The homeowner was asked to quiet the kids down.

A Manhattan man, Matthew Shwimmer, and a Franklin Lakes, N.J., man, James Curland, received summonses a little before midnight Sunday for beach fires that were not in a metal container, contrary to village code.

Montauk

Two female shoplifters struck Flying Point Surf and Sport on Carl Fisher Plaza June 22, absconding with a pink Carleton T-shirt, worth $33, two Vissla T-shirts, each worth $39, a Frankie’s bikini top, valued at $94, and bottom, priced at $104. Within a few minutes, the pair apparently hit Kai Lani, a little farther east on Main Street, making off with a black Vyb bathing suit top, an Estuaries mesh bikini top, and one bikini bottom. A teenage employee told police the shoplifters went into a changing room, hid the items on themselves, then waited until the clerk was distracted before leaving.

Fausto Acosta discovered that someone had stolen his wallet containing his ID and a credit card from his room in a Second House Road residence Sunday afternoon. Police spoke with other tenants of the house without consequence.

A few unruly patrons brought police to Rushmeyer’s Saturday night a little before midnight. The head of security, Roger Akiki, told police unruly customers had refused to leave the restaurant and bar’s outside area when asked to do so. Police classified the incident as harassment, but the details were blacked out of the report. The unwelcome guests left without further incident after police arrived, however.

Police were called to Duryea’s Lobster Dock to quell a fight between two Washington Heights, New York City, residents Saturday evening. Nathalie Munez and an 18-year-old whose name was blacked out said they did not want to press charges “because they are best friends,” the report states. The report did not indicate if they were working in Montauk or visiting.

An officer checking the main parking lot at Ditch Plain Beach early on June 22 discovered a small hole in one of the bathroom doors. Closer inspection revealed it was likely to have been caused by a 9-millimeter bullet. It passed through the door, ricocheted off a wall, and wound up inside a concrete block. Police believe the incident occurred sometime over the previous month.

Ismail Ocak of Islip Terrace, a cab driver, told police that a driver working for 668 Taxi had thrown a large fish at him on the afternoon on June 24. He also said the driver had been harassing him for the past month, repeatedly blocking his car and cursing him out. The name of Mr. Ocak’s company was not given in the report.

Sag Harbor

Cara Halpern called police Saturday afternoon when she discovered an unknown boat tied to the dock at her Redwood Street house. Police tracked the boat’s ownership to someone doing work there.

Springs

At some point between nightfall on June 16 and late morning the next day, an attempt was made to burglarize a building on Three Mile Harbor Road. Though the attempt was unsuccessful, James Campbell estimated the repair to a window damaged by the would-be intruder will cost about $300 to repair.

Round Swamp Farm’s bakery received a visit from police after a dispute Saturday morning. The complainant was a 16-year-old employee. After police intervention, it was agreed the 16-year-old should seek work elsewhere.

A boy’s scooter was stolen from a Third Street residence sometime between last Thursday noon and Friday evening. Brenda Crozier told police that if her son received restitution she would not press charges. The father of the boy police said was responsible agreed to give him $70, and the case was closed.

Ronni Krevat of Rowman Court reported that she had been sitting in her 2008 BMW, which was parked in her driveway on June 26, when a Taylor Made golf ball descended from on high, striking the rear door on the driver’s side of the vehicle, denting it.

Wainscott

Dennis Boyle called police on the afternoon of June 27 in response to an alarm at 54 Wainscott Stone Road. Mr. Boyle said he had driven up the long driveway and seen a stranger in the yard. Accompanied by an officer, he went into the residence and found an intruder inside, near the kitchen. The intruder’s identity and explanation as to why he entered the house were blacked out of the report. Mr. Boyle declined to press charges as long as the trespasser does not return.

Another call to police came from Kevin Arthur Bunce, who watches properties in Wainscott, on June 22. Arriving at 29 Georgica Woods Lane, police noticed that several stones had been pulled out of a two-foot-high exterior wall. A broken red lens of some kind was found on the ground.
