New York City Police arrested 13 people for crimes that included looting in Sandy's aftermath, law-enforcement officials said Tuesday.
Of the 13 confirmed arrests after the storm, most took place in areas of Brooklyn and Queens where police precincts had to be evacuated due to flooding, police said, adding that none of the crimes were violent and no officers or civilians were injured.
In the Rockaway section of Queens, a region that saw major storm damage, five people were arrested Tuesday for alleged crimes that included burglary, trespass, mischief and resisting arrest, an official said.
The 100th Precinct in the Rockaways was partially evacuated Monday as Sandy battered the neighborhood; in response, an official said, police set up a mobile command center Tuesday and arrests were being processed at a neighboring precinct.
On Coney Island in Brooklyn, matters were more difficult. The entire 60th Precinct was evacuated, forcing personnel to relocate to the 61st Precinct, the official said. Patrol Service Area 1, a precinct that covers public housing on Coney Island, was also evacuated Monday evening.
