Pair Arrested After Emerging From Manhole Near Hotel Where Netanyahu Stays, Police Say
- On Thursday, the NYPD arrested Kevin Rodriguez, 26, and Samuel Reveron, 25, in connection with two men seen climbing out of a manhole on Park Avenue at 61st Street early Wednesday morning.
- Both men admitted entering the sewer system to search for valuables washed away in storm drains, a practice authorities call "drain diving." Court documents show they acted together in the early morning hours.
- Surveillance footage captured the trio emerging from the manhole Wednesday morning, while automatic license plate readers tracked their vehicles crossing the Queensboro Bridge around 4 a.m., alerting authorities to their VIN and license plate numbers.
- Officials charged Rodriguez and Reveron with trespassing and conspiracy, though investigators are still searching for a third individual seen in the surveillance footage climbing out of the sewer.
- Authorities ruled out terrorism despite heightened security sweeps near the United Nations General Assembly, noting the incident fits a pattern of unauthorized sewer entries reported in recent months.
