“NYPD detective Ian Cyrus, 49, was caught on video allegedly stealing $2,650 from a Brooklyn deli during a raid over untaxed cigarettes. An undercover officer allegedly bought a pack of Newport cigarettes from the deli for $9 which police say didn’t have a ‘tax stamp,’ two employees were arrested as a result and $593 was officially seized, as well as the rest of the untaxed cigarettes. After local media covered the story, NYPD detective Ian Cryus was suspended without pay, his supervisor was stripped of his badge and moved to desk duty, and another officer involved who allegedly failed to report the deli owner’s complaint was placed on modified duty.”
