The following information was supplied by the East Hampton Town Police Department. A criminal charge is only an accusation and does not indicate guilt.
• A 30-year-old Holbrook woman was arrested after she reportedly stole a sweatshirt and hat from the Land Shark clothing store on Main Street in Montauk on July 28 at about 8:30 p.m.
The employee, who did not immediately confront her, said the woman got into a blue minivan with a bike rack on the back and out of state license plates and fled westbound on Montauk Highway.
An alert was issued for the vehicle, and police spotted it on Montauk Highway, in the area of Hedges Lane, in Amagansett, and pulled it over at about 9:10 p.m. The driver — Jose A. Ortiz, 40, of Bay Shore — and the passenger were asked to step out of the van. Ortiz appeared unsteady, police said, adding he performed poorly on field sobriety tests.
A check with the Department of Motor Vehicle fond Ortiz's license had been suspended 10 times on four different dates. He was charged with driving while ability impaired by alcohol, a violation, and third-degree aggravated unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle, a misdemeanor.
The Holbrook woman was found wearing the stolen grey sweatshirt, and the stolen hat was found on the passenger seat of the van, police said. She was charged with petty larceny.
Both defendants were released on $100 bail and given appearance tickets.
• An 18-year-old from Islip was arrested and charged with third-degree burglary, a felony, after police found him walking on foot on Main Beach in East Hampton Village on July 30 at 2:30 a.m. The teen was not able to produce identification, and village police transported him to headquarters. Detectives interviewed him, and found he had committed a burglary at Sam's Auto on Three Mile Harbor Road in East Hampton on July 29 at 1:30 a.m. Justice Rana released him on his own recognizance. Police withheld his name because they said he was eligible for youthful offender status.
• A 39-year-old East Hampton man was arrested after he allegedly broke down the victim's door and entered her bedroom on Three Mile Harbor Road in East Hampton on July 19 at about 9:30 p.m. The victim, who didn't initially want to press charges, told police that the same incident occurred in the past, but was not reported.

He was released on $300 bail.

Eligible for youthful offender status, the teen was released with an appearance ticket and $250 bail.

Lundgren, 36, of Coram, was arrested on a drug charge in Montauk on Aug. 5 at about 1:15 a.m. While on foot patrol, police saw two men enter an empty lot through bushes across from John's Drive-In.
