Bronx DA Darcel Clark, Manhattan DA Cy Vance Jr. and NYPD Commissioner Dermot Shea Announce Charges Against Gang Members for 2 Innocent Bystander Shootings, Stealing from 10 Rideshare Drivers, $300k Theft of Pandemic Relief Funds and Possessing 12 Guns 
District Attorney Vance said, “We’ve made it our mission to modernize and reposition the Manhattan D.A.’s Office to confront contemporary threats to New Yorkers, and this case shows how the investments we’ve made to become a global leader in cyber are having a real-world impact on the safety of our communities."
D.A. Vance: N.Y.P.D Sergeant Charged with Assault, Attempted Assault for Two Violent Arrests
“When NYPD officers head into the field each day to face unknown and potentially life-threatening situations, they do one of the most difficult jobs in the world,” said District Attorney Vance. “But having sworn an oath to protect and serve their communities, those difficult jobs need to be carried out with the utmost integrity and professionalism, especially by officers in leadership."
Manhattan D.A.’s Office Returns Three Antiquities to Indonesia
“I am honored to return these three wonderful pieces back to their rightful owners – the people of Indonesia. I want to thank my Office’s Antiquities Trafficking Unit and our partners at Homeland Security Investigations for their ceaseless efforts that have resulted in nearly 400 treasures being returned to 11 countries over the past year. I look forward to further repatriations in the near future.”
D.A. Vance: British Antiquities Restorer Arraigned in Global Antiquities Trafficking Scheme Following Extradition from London
“Without restorers to disguise stolen relics, there would be no laundered items for antiquities traffickers to sell,” said District Attorney Vance. “The arraignment of Neil Perry Smith serves as a reminder that behind every antiquities trafficking ring preying upon cultural heritage for profit, there is someone reassembling and restoring these looted pieces to lend the criminal enterprise a veneer of legitimacy."
D.A. Vance: Tekashi 6ix9ine’s Security Team, Including Former N.Y.P.D. Detective, Indicted For Robbery, Criminal Impersonation
