Sandy flooding may have damaged evidence in Brooklyn
The storm surge late last month caused the heavily polluted Newtown Creek to overflow and flood the New York Police Department facility in Greenpoint, Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly said at a news conference.
Police officials described the damage inside the building as heavy. Officers and civilian employees were working to determine whether evidence and police records were damaged or destroyed, and what could be salvaged.
“We’re still trying to sort through this,” Kelly said. “It’s a continuing matter of concern.”
