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.

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.

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.
