Trespassing
• A Water Mill resident told police July 19 that someone came into her backyard, swam in the pool, and left garbage behind. When it was discovered who did it, the homeowner decided not to pursue charges and police said they consider the matter closed.

Identity Theft
• A Baldwinsville man told police Aug. 5 that a telephone account was opened in his name May 3, 2011, at an unknown place.

The man also lives in Bridgehampton, and because he does not know where the identity theft took place, he requested town police create a file so Verizon will clear unauthorized charges from his account.
