Midnight Mystery in NYC: 10 Guys Drop to Their Underwear and Dive Into a Manhole Like It’s a Portal to Treasure. Around 2:00 a.m. this morning, approximately 10 individuals reportedly removed their clothing down to their underwear and entered a manhole cover for reasons that remain unclear. NYPD responded early in the morning to investigate the unusual incident. According to sources, similar behavior has been reported in different parts of New York City, though the motive behind it is still unknown. Some unverified claims circulating suggest people may believe there is something hidden beneath manhole covers, but authorities have not confirmed any such theory.

Scammers Are Targeting High-Value Shipments With Your Identity : Exclusive Report According to sources familiar with operations inside UPS, FedEx and other shipping companies, a new and highly organized package theft scam appears to be targeting high-value shipments, particularly Apple iPhones, Apple Watches and other expensive electronics. The scam is reportedly happening at assigned UPS and FedEx drop-off and pickup locations. Here’s how the scam allegedly works: Someone on the inside of a shipping company allegedly provides the scammers with the tracking number, name and address of the victim. The scammers are then able to track the shipment and determine when and where the package will be available for pickup. The crews allegedly already have a fake New York driver's license or New York State ID made using the victim's name. Once the package arrives at the assigned drop-off and pickup location, the scammer walks in, presents the fake identification and attempts to leave with the victim's package. In one reported incident, an employee at one of these locations wasn't satisfied with the identification and told the scammer that they wanted to see another form of identification. The scammer reportedly left and returned less than 15 minutes later with a utility bill that appeared authentic and contained the victim's name and address. Imagine being able to produce another piece of documentation using someone's personal information in less than 15 minutes. According to the sources, this type of theft has been increasing throughout the five boroughs of New York City and appears to be extremely organized. If the information about insiders providing tracking information and victims' personal details is accurate, this goes far beyond someone simply stealing a package. It could involve people with access to shipping information working with organized crews on the outside, who then use fraudulent identification and other documents to intercept high-value shipments. The level of organization described by these sources raises serious questions about how these crews are obtaining victims' personal information, how they know exactly where the packages are going and how quickly they are able to produce seemingly legitimate identification and supporting documents .

🚨 Brooklyn Manhole Mystery Deepens: Were These Underground Explorers or a Burglary Crew? UPDATE 🚨 I went back to the area today and started taking a closer look at what surrounds this location. One thing immediately stood out: there are numerous cash-heavy businesses nearby, along with a bank. The more I dig into this story, the more questions I have. Sources and video show that these individuals were underground for nearly two hours. They didn't appear to be random people fooling around. They came equipped with shovels, masks, and specialized gear to keep themselves dry while navigating below ground. For those unfamiliar with New York City's underground infrastructure, some tunnel systems can stretch for miles and connect across boroughs. That raises an obvious question: What exactly were they doing down there for that long? At this point, nothing has been officially confirmed, but the deeper I look into this incident, the more it resembles a crew that may have been preparing for something far more serious than a late-night adventure. Two hours underground. Masks. Tools. Planning. Something about this entire situation doesn't feel right. By Leeroy Johnson For licensing email [email protected]

Egyptian Extortion Crew Accused of Forcing Out Food Vendor, Taking Over Prime Cart Location A few nights ago, members of an Egyptian extortion crew allegedly pulled up to a food vendor’s spot with several masked men, yanked his cart out of the location, and replaced it with their own. The victim says the crew presented fake documents and lied to responding officers in an attempt to make the takeover look legitimate. After hours of back-and-forth, the vendor says he ultimately felt pressured to pay the crew just to get his spot back.

Good morning from Brooklyn, NY. I’m back at the Brooklyn location where, not too long ago, I documented something that looked like it came straight out of a horror movie. Today, there’s a noticeable difference. The people with serious drug issues who were hanging around inside the kids’ playground, using drugs and causing chaos, are no longer there like they were before. The playground is actually being used by the kids again. Recently, Assemblymember Brook-Krasny worked with the city to get the homeless encampment removed. I also want to give credit to the city for sending agencies out to clean up and address the location. The encampment was less than half a block away, and every morning some people from that camp would walk down into the area and start using drugs. I spoke with some neighbors, and they told me things have dramatically slowed down since I documented what was happening and after the encampment was removed. But let’s be clear — the problem hasn’t completely gone away. Around the outskirts of the park, I still see people dealing with drug issues hanging around outside people’s homes, yelling, screaming and causing commotion but it's a lot less than it was . So while the playground itself is much better, there are still issues around the surrounding area that need to be addressed. There are also multiple schools nearby, so this matters to the entire neighborhood. Credit where credit is due: Alec Krasny worked with the city, and the city responded by removing the encampment and sending agencies out to clean up and address the area. It has made a noticeable difference. But the work isn’t over. There’s more coming that I can’t talk about yet. For now, check out the short documentary and investigation I put out below. You can see the difference for yourself.

EXCLUSIVE: Tourist Severely Injured After Trying to Stop Brutal Times Square Assault video captures the aftermath of a violent attack that unfolded in Times Square this past Friday. According to sources, a group that frequently gathers in the area allegedly attacked a man before turning on a tourist who tried to intervene. The tourist was reportedly beaten so severely that he suffered broken eye sockets, multiple broken ribs, and was transported to the hospital. Law enforcement sources tell me this group has allegedly been linked to multiple violent assaults in the Times Square area over the past several years. Officers say many of the individuals involved are juveniles who have been arrested before but are often released shortly afterward. The investigation is ongoing. Anyone with information is encouraged to contact the NYPD. Alvin Bragg Jessica S. Tisch
