NEW YORK — There are new details in the federal raids last week targeting members of Mayor Eric Adams’ administration, including NYPD Commissioner Edward Caban.
Sources tell CBS News New York that in addition to the U.S. attorney issuing search warrants on Friday for cellphones belonging to Caban and several other NYPD top brass, the feds also sent the department an evidence preservation letter, ordering it not to destroy any electronic files.
While that is typical protocol for investigations, sources say additional electronics were removed from the Verizon building near One Police Plaza on Friday. That building is the location of Deputy Mayor Philip Banks’ office. Banks is one of several members of the mayor’s inner circle whose homes were raided last week .
Councilman calls on Caban to resign
City Councilman Robert Holden, a long-time NYPD supporter, said on “The Point with Marcia Kramer” on Sunday that Caban should step down .
