Police Crackdown on Montauk Lawbreakers Continues

One month after local residents called for more police enforcement in Montauk, East Hampton Town Police are continuing to crackdown on local lawbreakers.

This past weekend in Montauk there were over 120 calls for service, 45 town ordinance summons and four arrests, according to police.

Out of the four arrests, three were for DWI and one was for criminal trespass, according to police.

In addition, three commercial noise violations were given, police said.

East Hampton Town authorized overtime funding for police, fire and code enforcement last month after residents became fed up after the Fourth of July weekend, stating that Montauk has gained a reputation as a “party town,” and created problems in the small hamlet including public urination, noise, parking problems, and overcrowding of rental homes and bars.
