Kevin Rodriguez and Samuel Reveron, both 25 years old, were arrested in New York City for allegedly climbing out of manholes to search for valuables trapped in storm drains. They were charged with trespassing and conspiracy but released without bond; Reveron received supervised release while Rodriguez was released on his own recognizance. The arrests came after reports that three individuals emerged from a manhole near Park Avenue during the United Nations general assembly, prompting police surveillance and security measures.

Story summary
Around 4:35 AM on Wednesday, three unidentified men emerged from a manhole near Park Avenue and East 61st Street in New York City’s Upper East Side, just steps away from where Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was set to stay during the United Nations General Assembly at the Loews Regency hotel. The trio fled in two separate vehicles after being spotted by authorities. Two men, Kevin Rodriguez and Samuel Reveron, both 25 years old and Venezuelan citizens, were arrested later that week for trespassing and conspiracy related to this incident. They allegedly admitted to entering the sewer system in search of valuables washed into storm drains. Authorities noted the timing near high-profile events required additional security measures but found no direct threat posed by the suspects to dignitaries or hotel guests.
