BOROUGH PARK, Brooklyn [CHI] – Five people were arrested Friday after knocking on doors and posing as Department of Environmental Protection water inspectors in the Borough Park section of Brooklyn. The group, which comprised of 3 males and 2 females, are suspected in a number of robberies in the area.

The arrests came after the Borough Park Division of Shomrim received a call to their hotline about the fake inspectors trying to enter the home of a resident, which prompted Shomrim members to follow the suspects for close to 5 hours, resulting in their arrest by the NYPD.
