NBC News • • nation
Key Points:
- Security cameras near a New York City hotel where Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was to stay recorded three men emerging from sewers before dawn on Wednesday, according to the NYPD.
- The NYPD stated the incident appears unrelated to Netanyahu or the United Nations General Assembly, attributing it to recent patterns of individuals scavenging sewers for valuables and scrap metal after storms.
- The three men emerged around 4:30 a.m. and left by car, with authorities believing they are the same individuals involved in previous sewer scavenging incidents captured on video earlier this year.
- Due to the sensitive location and the U.N. General Assembly, the NYPD is conducting additional security sweeps in coordination with federal partners and has deployed a robust response to these incidents.
