Amagansett

Police found a group of teenagers partying on a Marine Boulevard property on the night of Oct. 11, apparently on an oceanfront deck. Officers checked the exterior of the house and found no damage. The group was warned that they did not have permission from the owner, Regina K. Scully, a Hollywood producer, and were trespassing. They agreed to clean up their mess before leaving, and did.

East Hampton

The food pantry van parked outside Windmill Village on Accabonac Road was vandalized sometime between Oct. 14 and 17. Ricci Paradiso told police both rear tires had been slashed. There were obvious knife marks on them, police said, and they will have to be replaced.

Police were called at about midnight on Oct. 14 after a man refused to leave the V.I.P. area of the Leo nightclub on Three Mile Harbor Road and fought with two security guards as they were escorting him out, biting one of them on the arm. He had fled by the time police arrived, and the guards, Dennis Dowling and Michael Georgio, said they would not seek to press charges.

East Hampton Village

A Buell Lane man called police the evening of Oct. 18, reporting a truck with taillights flashing nonstop in the lot behind Most Holy Trinity Church. The truck, police said, belonged to the crew repaving Route 114. Officers were unable to disable the lights.

Montauk

A passing vandal used a pumpkin to damage a mailbox on Fairview Avenue last Thursday evening. Joseph Welch told police the box was now dented, and its four-by-four-inch post is cracked.

Two female roommates at the Malibu Motel, which is used by the Montauk Yacht Club to house its employees, had a scuffle the night of Oct. 18 about whether to keep the door to the room open. Jose Duran, the manager, agreed to find a different room for one of the combatants. 

Sag Harbor

There were multiple sightings of witches and goblins along the route of the Ragamuffin Parade on Sunday. Officers kept a wary eye on the spectral scene, while Chief of Police Austin McGuire attempted to placate the gremlins by handing out temporary rub-on tattoos of a Jack O’ Lantern and a ghost.

A “gray-haired woman in black pants” shoplifted an “Aztec-pattern” duffel bag on Sunday afternoon from the Flying Point Surf boutique, police said. Tori Pisaneschi valued the bag at about $85. 

Burglars apparently tried to gain access to the office of Allison Babcock Design early last Thursday morning. Ms. Babcock told police that the studio door was unlocked when she arrived Thursday, and that a sliding door leading to the office was badly damaged, though the trespassers failed to gain access.

Wainscott

Cheryl Petruzzi parked her car outside Breadzilla last week and went in for 10 minutes. When she returned, she told police, her handicapped parking tag was gone.

Volunteers Answer the Call of Duty

“No one wants to get out of bed, having just climbed in. And it’s a really cold night, and it’s windy, and everything else — but you know that everyone else will be feeling the same, and so you go anyway. Everyone jumps in their cars and drives there, and then you deal with whatever is going on.”

A Barry Lane, Springs, man told police that someone claiming to be from Amazon had called him in regard to a $996 charge on his account for an iPhone 16. When he said he didn’t have an Amazon account, he was transferred to someone who identified himself as a Social Security employee, accused him of money laundering, and told him to expect a call from Nassau County police.
