PORTSMOUTH — Here are some highlights from the Portsmouth police report from over the past week.
Tuesday, June 23
Police responded to Sandy Point Beach at 8:40 a.m. for a report of a vehicle that had gotten stuck in the sand. When Patrol Officer Patrick J. O’Neill arrived on the scene, he observed Ray’s Towing leaving the area; the operator said he was unable to free the vehicle but that another tow truck was coming to help. Officer O’Neill found a Ford Taurus stuck deep in the sand at the far north side of the beach. He was approached by the owner, Amos Haas, who said his younger brother Ethan had borrowed the vehicle the night before and brought a female to the beach to hang out with him. The younger Haas then apparently got the car stuck in the sand and called his brother at 3 a.m. The car was gone from the beach by 3 p.m. The brothers were in town visiting relatives, police said.
