NYPD Bedbug
Who knew police precincts had so many beds? The city’s bedbug problem rolls on:
Blood-sucking bedbugs have invaded a Brooklyn police precinct stationhouse — forcing cops to process arrests at a vermin-free NYPD building 15 blocks away, sources told the Daily News.
The nasty problem in the 60th Precinct stationhouse in Coney Island began about three weeks ago when a cop noticed bites on his ankles, the sources said.
Soon prisoners lodged in holding cells started to complain — marking one of the rare times cops and criminals were on the same side of an issue.
Cops know that sometimes they must bring their job home with them. But they draw the line at bedbugs.
“It’s bad enough to have to deal with these things at work, but how do we explain to our wives why we’re bringing home bugs?” an agitated cop complained.
