Amagansett

East Hampton Town police released a report this week that a Cross Highway residence owned by Robert Vanni had been illegally entered between Sept. 4 and Nov. 11. Mr. Vanni told police several objects had been moved around and it appeared that someone had slept there. The intruder had gained access by smashing a small glass pane on a door, then reaching in and unlocking it. He estimated the cost of repairing the glass pane to be $25. Nothing was stolen. 

 

East Hampton Village

Police were called to the Maidstone Hotel on Main Street on the afternoon of Dec. 5. The management had just completed a full inventory, the first in three years, and discovered items missing. The list includes two stools, several floor and table lamps, a teak chair, a brass-colored wine cooler, a brass bell, and three blankets.

A Conklin Terrace woman, whom police did not name, told them on Dec. 4 that a male co-worker had repeatedly come to her house without calling and let himself in. She did not want to press charges, but asked that he be issued a warning.

A Cooper Lane woman called police Saturday morning. She uses an upstairs room in a house there and had noticed that a washer-dryer and a television were missing downstairs. Police determined that the homeowner had donated them to charity. Neither the caller nor the homeowner was named.

Northwest Woods

Linda Stoller of Scallop Avenue called police on Dec. 5, reporting that a watch valued at over $1,000 was missing. She told police she had had a visitor two days earlier, whom she had met attending tag sales, and had shown the visitor her jewelry.

The manager of the 7-Eleven called police Friday morning because a man involved in a prior incident was loitering there. Police warned the man, saying that if he returned to the store he would be arrested on a trespassing charge.

Springs

Kevin Miller of Lincoln Avenue is missing a clam rake with a custom-made handle, which disappeared from his fenced-in yard sometime between Nov. 20 and Dec. 3. He estimated the cost of replacement at $100.

Police were called to Phoenix House, a substance abuse rehabilitation facility, early Sunday morning after two residents got into a fistfight over a PlayStation. Neither man wanted to press charges; each agreed to stay away from the other for the rest of the night.

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.
