East Hampton Village

A Lee Avenue man called police on the afternoon of Oct. 9 to say that a stranger had "run across his yard"; he could not say in what direction. The property is fenced, he said, and the only way in is by a code. Police searched for the man seen running, but did not find him. 

Police went to CVS Sunday night after a shopper claimed to have found no one available to help and requested a "well-being check of the employees." There was at least one employee there when officers arrived, who said he'd been "in the back, working."

On the afternoon of Oct. 8, a man dropped off trash at the recycling center without a sticker and did not pay a $20 fee, an employee told police. Officers found the vehicle in question, which they said did have a permit, parked on West Lake Drive, but were unable to contact its owner.
