NEW YORK CITY (WPIX<\/a>) \u2013 The New York City manhole mystery continues after three people were seen entering a sewer system in Hamilton Heights early Sunday, according to police.<\/p>\n

Witnesses reported seeing the individuals enter the sewer system on West 141st Street between Amsterdam and Broadway around 12:52 a.m., police said.<\/p>\n

When officers arrived, the individuals were no longer at the scene. No arrests have been made.<\/p>\n

\u201cUsually I used to hear stuff like this happen further way downtown Manhattan, and this is the upper part of Manhattan. Usually we don\u2019t hear stories like that,\u201d said David Ford, a Hamilton Heights neighbor.<\/p>\n

The incident comes two days after five people were seen climbing out of a manhole<\/a> near 525 East 82nd Street on the Upper East Side early Friday morning. The group drove away in a vehicle, according to police.<\/p>\n

It is the latest report of people entering or emerging from manholes across the five boroughs since at least May.<\/p>\n

Police said Friday\u2019s incident remains under investigation and they are unsure whether it is connected to previous reports of people entering the sewer system. Sunday\u2019s incident also remains under investigation.<\/p>\n

Greg Sanfilippo, vice president of intelligence at Doyle Security Services and a retired NYPD counterterrorism sergeant, said some people may be entering the sewer system in search of valuables.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Angelo Bavaro and Hiral Patel 19 minutes ago NEW YORK CITY (WPIX) \u2013 The New York City manhole…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":371503,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[35],"tags":[75,84,83,9,24,63],"class_list":["post-371502","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-manhattan","tag-manhattan","tag-manhattan-headlines","tag-manhattan-news","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-nyc"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/371502","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=371502"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/371502\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/371503"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=371502"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=371502"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=371502"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
