East Hampton police report Wainscott safety sweep; arrest made in Double RL burglary

On May 21, East Hampton Town Police and the Suffolk County Motor Carrier Safety Section staged a targeted commercial-vehicle inspection campaign in Wainscott, the broadcast reported. Officers stopped 30 commercial vehicles between 5:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m., issued 66 tickets and arrested two drivers as part of the operation.

In a quoted statement, East Hampton Town Police said the campaign "combined resources from multiple agencies to reduce crashes and improve roadway safety." The broadcast gave the enforcement dates and the numerical outcomes but did not provide the specific charges for the two drivers arrested during the sweep.

Separately, East Hampton Village detectives arrested a Brooklyn woman after employees at the Double RL shop discovered a broken door and about $21,000 of merchandise missing. According to the report, detectives tracked the woman to an apartment on Newtown Lane; she attempted to flee by climbing out a window onto a neighboring roof before returning and being taken into custody. The woman faces two misdemeanor counts and four felonies, including third-degree burglary and third-degree grand larceny, and a criminal possession of a weapon charge after brass knuckles were found in the apartment.

Police said a drone assisted in locating the suspect during the response. The broadcast did not include the defendant’s name or information about arraignment dates; the story noted the charges alleged by police and that the matters remain in the criminal process.
