NYPD Cop Caught on Video Robbing Deli During Raid for Untaxed Cigarettes

Brooklyn, NY– New York Narcotics Detective Ian Cyrus has been suspended without pay and two sergeants have been placed on desk duty after the detective was caught on camera robbing a deli. The robbery happened as him and four other officers were raiding the deli over the absurd crime of selling untaxed cigarettes on April 3.

As four of Cyrus’ colleagues arrested two employees of the deli over the victimless crime of selling loose cigarettes, Cyrus decided to help himself to the store’s rent money which was in a box under the counter.
The manager of The Yemen Deli and Grocery, Ali Abdullah, was given a receipt saying $593 had been seized from the cash register as well as packs of cigarettes as evidence. There was no mention of the money from the cash box.  After reviewing the CCTV footage Abdullah saw that an officer had reached down and grabbed it and placed the cash in his pocket.
Upon seeing this, the manager immediately called the police department who sent a supervisor to the deli to review the footage.
