NEW YORK — A New York City Police officer is on modified duty as investigators look into her possible ties to the “Shooting Boys” gang, whose members received a lengthy federal indictment Thursday.
Ten members of the Bronx gang face charges including murder, racketeering and narcotics offenses. All but two were arrested Thursday morning; the others remain fugitives.
Law enforcement sources say an NYPD officer has been placed on modified duty in the 52nd Precinct due to her suspected ties or relationship with a gang member.
The officer is not charged with any crime, the sources said, but investigators want to know if she provided law enforcement-related information to gang members.
An NYPD spokesman had no comment.
The investigation is still ongoing.
