The Ninja Turtles strike again!

New York City police are investigating another reported entry into the city’s underground sewer system after three men were spotted climbing into a manhole in Manhattan early Sunday morning.

The latest incident occurred shortly before 1 a.m. on West 141st Street, between Amsterdam and Broadway avenues, in Hamilton Heights. Officers responding to the scene found that the individuals had already disappeared. Police said it was the first reported incident of its kind in that neighborhood.

The sighting follows a similar episode Friday on the Upper East Side, where five people — four men and one woman — were seen climbing out of a manhole on East 82nd Street shortly after 2 a.m. The group reportedly left in a black SUV, and investigators discovered shovels and other equipment at the location.

The incidents come weeks after two individuals were arrested for entering a manhole on East 61st Street during the United Nations General Assembly, a period when security measures throughout the city were heightened.

Officials with the city’s Department of Environmental Protection believe some individuals may be venturing into the sewer network in search of valuables and scrap metal, including items carried underground by stormwater.

Authorities are continuing to investigate the recent cases and are working to identify the individuals involved.
