Wantagh Sewer Intrusion Marks First Long Island Case in NYC 'Underground Scavenging' Trend
Nassau County police are investigating an incident in Wantagh where five men entered a sewer system through a manhole early Thursday morning. The event, captured on surveillance video, marks the first such case on Long Island, following a series of similar incidents in New York City this summer. Authorities have not identified the individuals or their motive, though city officials suspect they may be searching for valuables in the underground infrastructure. No arrests have been made, and the sewer system was found empty after a thorough search.
