They emerged from the sewer near Netanyahu's hotel in New York – new details of the case

New York police arrested two people who emerged from a sewer near the hotel where Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was staying during the UN General Assembly. The detainees are 26-year-old Kevin Rodriguez and 25-year-old Samuel Rebron. A third member of the group has not yet been found and is being sought. They are charged with illegal entry into the New York sewer system. On Friday morning, they appeared before a judge, pleaded not guilty, and were released from custody. The motives for the incident have not been established. Police are investigating several possibilities: a possible attempt to harm Netanyahu or a search for valuables that may have ended up in the sewer after severe storms. Police noted that the case shares similarities with previous incidents in New York where people entered the sewer in search of valuable items. Due to the UN General Assembly and the special status of the location, additional security measures have been implemented in coordination with federal authorities.
