Looters Snag More Than $8K In Meds From Manhattan CVS: Cops

HUDSON SQUARE, MANHATTAN — Cops have released video from yet another break-in during the first night of widespread looting that would lead Mayor Bill de Blasio to put a curfew in place in New York City.

The latest video shows more than a dozen people running into a CVS at 161 Avenue of the Americas around 9:30 p.m. on May 31 after one of the suspects broke open the glass doors, according to police and the video.

The group took more than $8,000-worth of prescription medication from the pharmacy, police said.

More than 400 people would be arrested that night, leading Mayor Bill de Blasio to put in place an 11 p.m. curfew on New York City the next day.

Cops have also recently released photos of a raid on a high-end camera store that netted $550,000 and a group who snatched more than $150,000 worth of denim from the Naked and Famous store that night.

Looting incidents were also reported June 1, which led the mayor to move his curfew earlier the next day. Though, he'd later face widespread criticism as it created confusion among essential workers meant to be exempt from the curfew and led to a crackdown on peaceful protesters.

Anyone with information in regard to this incident is asked to call the NYPD's Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477) or for Spanish, 1-888-57-PISTA (74782).
