5 People Spotted Climbing Out of Manhole in New York City; No Arrests
Police said the group drove off in a black SUV after emerging from the sewer, and no arrests have been made.
- Five people were spotted climbing out of a manhole on East 82nd Street early Friday, according to the NYPD, before departing in a black SUV toward East End Avenue.
- Authorities do not believe the so-called "drain diving" involves nefarious motives; participants reportedly enter sewers "to look for valuables that get washed away in the storm drains and sewers."
- This incident follows a similar occurrence near Park Avenue and East 61st Street during the United Nations General Assembly, and last month's arrest of two Queens men, Kevin Rodriguez and Samuel Reveron, for trespassing.
- Responding officers and the Department of Environmental Protection recovered shovels and other tools at the scene, though no arrests have been made as the NYPD continues investigating the ongoing trend.
- Subterranean exploits have been reported across the city, including areas outside Penn Station and in Brooklyn, from Williamsburg to Bensonhurst and Gravesend, as the Department of Environmental Protection warns entering city sewers is illegal and dangerous.
