East Hampton Village

A deer was found on Montauk Highway, stuck in plastic construction fencing, on the morning of Nov. 26. Hamptons Wildlife Rescue responded, tranquilized the deer, and was able to free it.

Someone reported an erratic driver, possibly intoxicated, on Thanksgiving Day. The caller reported seeing two young women with a small child get into a gray Honda Pilot and speed off up Main Street to Newtown Lane at about 6:30 p.m. Police searched the area, but did not find the vehicle.

Montauk

Police found graffiti on a town-owned storage shed in the southwest corner of the Gin Beach parking lot on Nov. 26. Black spray paint had been used on the gray shed. The only legible marks were “KDP.” Another shed in the lot was not defaced, but red spray paint was found later on a “Swimming Prohibited” sign and dried blue paint on a “No Parking” sign, both in the northwest corner of the lot. The graffiti were photographed and the East Hampton Town Parks Department was notified.

Sag Harbor

Diane Boyd went to police after learning that her aunt, who suffers from dementia, had given her Social Security and Medicare numbers over the phone to an unknown person on Nov. 27. Police tried to contact the caller, but the number was not in service.

Officers responded Saturday at around 6:45 p.m. to a report of a person with a flashlight in the backyard of an unoccupied house on High Street. They did not find anyone.

On Monday, John Giruzzi of Sag Harbor found his 2018 Toyota Camry had been scratched while he was in the gym on Bay Street. He parked the car across from 3 Bay Street at 11 a.m., he told police, and when he returned at 1 p.m. it had a large, deep scratch running from the front fender to the back bumper. Repairs will cost in excess of $1,000, he said.

Mildre L. Rojche Culan, who works at Dopo La Spiaggia on Bay Street, filed a report on Friday, saying that five of her paychecks had been cashed twice. Using a cellphone, she deposited five separate checks in the amount of $558.96 between June and September, she told police, but has since found that those same checks were also cashed.
