"NYPD Deputy Commissioner Delaney Kempner told the Washington Examiner that officers responded in the area of the city's 66th Precinct at approximately 8:39 p.m. on Tuesday after a call came in about the discarded uniforms. "Upon arrival, officers observed a box containing pants, shirts, jackets, and hats," Kempner said. "The uniform items were removed to the 66 Precinct for safekeeping and the investigation remains ongoing." Officers could be seen removing the uniforms from the overflowing box and stuffing them into plastic bags in video posted online Thursday morning."
"The box was discovered two days before New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani was sworn into office. Brooklyn was crucial to Mamdani's win in November, as he received 57% of the borough's vote. The strange find prompted intense speculation on social media, with one X user suggesting that the dumped items could be a harbinger of life in the not-too-distant future under the city's new democratic socialist mayor. "We tried to warn you, NYC," Tosca Austen wrote. "Discarded uniforms on the side of the road, a sign of things to come under. .@ZohranKMamdani!?""
A large cardboard box containing NYPD uniforms was found abandoned near Green-Wood Cemetery in Brooklyn. Officers responded to a call in the 66th Precinct area at approximately 8:39 p.m. and observed pants, shirts, jackets and hats inside the box. The uniform items were removed to the 66th Precinct for safekeeping and remain under investigation. Video showed officers removing the items and placing them into plastic bags. The location was reported as 37th St. and Ninth Ave. in Borough Park. The 66th Precinct covers Borough Park, Midwood and Kensington and includes more than 300 mostly Hasidic and Orthodox religious institutions. The find prompted social media speculation two days before Mayor Zohran Mamdani's swearing-in.
