A Walgreen’s employee called police on Sunday afternoon after spotting a woman stealing two Rogaine items and recognizing her and her male companion as the pair who had previously stolen from the store on Dec. 19. The woman took Rogaine Men 5PR foam and Rogaine Men 5-percent solution, each worth $53.99, off a shelf and put them in her bag.

Springs

An East Hampton man told police he was trying to move through a large crowd at the Springs Tavern on Fort Pond Boulevard on Feb. 15 at about 1:10 a.m., when a man pushed him as he was making his way to the bar. Estuardo Quiroz-Saltos said he proceeded to buy two drinks and when he was about to take the drinks away, another man pushed him and the first man punched him. He tried to defend himself and was surrounded by four men before security stepped in and escorted him outside. When he went to police at about 10 a.m., he had a black eye and a scratch on his neck, and complained of pain in his nose and head. He told police he would go to the hospital after filing a report. He said he wanted to pursue charges.

Emily Young, who has a company called Brass & Burl, which mainly deals in online sales of furniture, went to police on Feb. 7 after she received an email from a man who said his credit card had been charged $913 for a chair that he never purchased.

She wanted the incident documented as she pursues compensation.
