Local public-safety roundup: fights, spills, rescues and arrests reported across the South Fork
East End News ran a public-safety roundup covering multiple incidents across the South Fork over the past week, including a recurring theft at a Montauk 7-Eleven, a six-person assault in Sag Harbor, a diesel fuel spill at a Sag Harbor yacht yard, a marine patrol kayak rescue and an arrest after police found two people in a parked vehicle at David Sarnoff Preserve.

Police said the recurring customer at the 7-Eleven had been taking items without paying and received a notice of trespass. Officers responding to the fight in Sag Harbor met with two victims; no charges were pressed at the time of the broadcast. At the yacht yard, crews used booms and absorbent pads to contain a diesel spill during a fuel transfer; the U.S. Coast Guard and the National Response Center were notified. A marine-patrol crew rescued three people from the water after an overturned kayak; no injuries were reported.

The segment attributed incident descriptions to East Hampton Town Police and described follow-up actions where provided; it did not present long-form reports or court filings.
