New York police investigate videos of men emerging from city sewer system

New York City police are investigating after several videos surfaced in recent weeks showing groups of people entering and exiting the city's sewer system.

The men, captured on surveillance cameras in neighborhoods across Brooklyn and Queens, are believed to be searching for valuables underground, US media reported, citing police sources.

It remains unclear whether the same group is behind all the incidents. In one video, several men are seen removing the cover of a well and then descending into the sewers before emerging again hours later.

"Accessing the sewer system is illegal and extremely dangerous," a spokesman for the city's Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) told the BBC.

"Sewers can contain numerous hazards, including harmful and potentially deadly gases, unstable surfaces, flooding hazards and confined spaces," the DEP spokesperson said. "For these reasons, members of the public should never enter a pipe, drain, sewage collection pond, well or discharge."

Last week, police received reports of several unidentified individuals removing manhole covers and entering the sewer system.

"The individuals then fled the scene in an unknown vehicle in an unknown location," the New York Police Department told the BBC. "There were no reports of injuries. There have been no arrests and the investigation remains ongoing."

The men who were filmed climbing out of a sewer manhole are believed to be "treasure hunters" and urban explorers looking for valuables in the sewer system, police sources told CBS News, the BBC's American partner.
