"A cardboard box filled with official NYPD uniforms was found near a Brooklyn cemetery, police said Sunday. The bizarre find was reported to police at about 8:30 p.m. Tuesday on an industrial Borough Park street between Green-Wood Cemetery and an MTA train yard, a NYPD spokesperson told The Post. Cops sifted through the discarded box - containing pants, shirts, jackets and even hats - at the corner of 37th Street and Ninth Avenue Tuesday night, according to a video posted to X on Jan. 1."
"Officers moved the box to the nearest precinct - located nearly 2 miles away on 16th Avenue - for "safekeeping" a spokesperson said. An investigation is ongoing, the rep confirmed. The discovery came less than 48 hours before Mayor Zohran Mamdani was inaugurated in Manhattan. Some social media users had speculated there might be a connection to Mamdani's swearing in despite nothing outwardly connecting the events."
