A Blue Jay Way resident, Mark Gettes, told police on March 15 that there might be “criminal mischief” happening at his neighbor’s house. Officers found a black Jeep with three flat tires and broken windows parked in the driveway; both the Jeep and the house itself appeared to be abandoned. Another neighbor, Ester Soto, told them the car and the house had been in that condition for over a month, which Mr. Gettes confirmed. The Jeep’s owner, Edward Dalessandro, has not yet responded to phone calls, police said.

He was issued a summons for discharge prohibitions and is due in Town Justice Court on April 4.
Teenagers were caught aggressively driving the free-ride vehicles on Lumber Lane on the afternoon of March 14, and then walking away from the vehicles, one of which may have crashed into another. Police found no damage to the vehicles, but warned the youths to stay away from them.
On Saturday, teenagers prompted another call to police. Two were seen shooting at a sign on Main Beach, using an “airsoft gun.” The sign was undamaged, police reported, and the teens were gone when they arrived.

An employee of the UPS Store, Kimberly DeJesus, left her notary stamp on the front desk on March 11 during a busy time. When she came back to work three days later, she noticed that the stamp was gone and searched all over the store, but could not locate it. None of her co-workers had seen it. In fact, another UPS employee couldn’t find his, either. The cameras in the store are unconnected, and there were no witnesses to the theft. The employees were advised to contact the New York State Notary Association.
Anita Lagrassa was driving down Bay Street on the Ides of March when she sensed she was being followed, and pulled over.

A security camera tipped off a Morris Cove Lane resident, Diane Plummer, that a man was on her property on March 16, near her front and rear doors.

He told police he’d call Ms. Plummer and clear it up.

Springs
Just after 1 a.m. on Sunday, back-to-back calls complaining of loud music and yelling sent police to Klever Lopez’s Fort Pond Boulevard house. Mr. Lopez said he would lower the music and ask his guests to remain indoors, but apparently he did not, because an hour later a third person called to complain. Police returned to the house, spoke more sharply, and were again promised that the music would be lowered.
