Officers tracked the location of the woman’s iPhone to her house, and the missing bag was located, laying on the grass next to her driveway.
• A Mattituck man told police on June 6 that someone had thrown eggs at his home overnight. A responding officer observed two broken egg shells in front of the house, but no visible damage. The man said that his daughter had recently broken up with her boyfriend, and believed he was responsible. Officers interviewed the man, who claimed his house had been egged as well, though police saw no broken eggshells on or near the home. Both parties were warned about throwing eggs at other people’s houses.

The man agreed and apologized for his actions.
