Three People Climbed Into the Sewer on 17th Avenue and 82nd Street in Bensonhurst
Yesterday around 5:30 pm, there was a lot of police cars on 17th Avenue and 82nd Street.
Someone shared on social media that men removed a sewer cap and climbed down. I thought they were being facetious. They were telling the truth.
The news reported that several people entered the sewer and one guy stayed behind and closed the sewer cap. (Source: https://is.gd/wgTKfA) The police took that man in custody first.
Channel News showed video tonight:
The police have two more of the men in custody (for a total of three) and are searching for two other people. (Source: https://is.gd/znYWCb)
Update: “The suspects have been identified as 25-year-old Zion McKenzie, 26-year-old Shawan Thompson and 39-year-old Willie Green. They face burglary, possession of a burglary tool, criminal mischief and criminal facilitation charges.” Source: https://is.gd/yqVgfj
The article stated: Right now, investigators are still trying to figure out who went down there and why. Can someone get to someone’s basement through the sewer and rob their home?
