East Hampton Village

A Montauk Highway woman reported a utility cart worth $600 missing on the afternoon of Sept. 11. Police conducted a search and distributed a photo of the cart to other officers, but it has not been found.

Saturday afternoon, a passer-by on Main Street called police to report a possible case of animal abuse. She was watching a woman in a car “smacking her dog” with paper, she said. Police looked for the car but did not find it.

Montauk

After a man exposed himself in front of two women whom he’d been hanging out with near 7-Eleven on the morning of Sept. 7, they called the police. He ran off.

A Gull Road woman narrowly escaped being scammed last week. On Sept. 10, she received a call from “Amazon customer service.” Eventually, the callers asked for her Social Security number and bank information, at which point she realized it was a scam, hung up, and reported it to police, who recorded the incident as attempted identity theft.

The Point called police on Sunday night to report an unwanted guest, who was later found by an officer weaving along the sidewalk. The intoxicated man was told not to return to the bar.

Sag Harbor

At Dopo La Spiaggia on the night of Sept. 10, the unwelcome guest was a woman, who was “bumping into employees,” they told police. The woman was “irate” and uncooperative when prompted by officers, who eventually escorted her to the street.

A Pierson student and four of his friends noticed a woman staring at them Saturday evening from behind a fence at the school. When they moved to the front of the building, she ran toward them, they told police, who did not find her and concluded she’d run off into the woods.

At around midnight on Sunday, a caller reported a “suspicious” group of teenagers on Long Island Avenue. The group told police they were completing the senior scavenger hunt, and cleaning up their garbage before heading home.

Springs

A groundskeeper at a house on Three Mile Harbor Road called twice on the morning of Sept. 10 to report a neighbor for being on the property without permission. The neighbor told police the trespassers were contractors from PSEG, who’d been sent to survey the area before “digging.”
