The 2022 blizzard hit Buffalo, NY – and it’s causing historic damage. More than 4 feet of snow hit the city, in less than 24 hours – and desperation has started to set in. Media Take Out has learned that people are so desperate in the city …. that they’ve begun looting.
Here are just a few videos:
New York State Police on Sunday responded to claims across social media that there’s been looting in the City of Buffalo during the winter storm that’s shut down Western New York this weekend.
State police during a Sunday evening news conference alongside Gov. Kathy Hochul and Erie County Executive Mark Poloncarz would say only that a few incidents have been confirmed, but 2 On Your Side is hearing of more elsewhere in Buffalo.
“We have had two confirmed reports of looting incidents where law enforcement has been dispatched and responded,” said Steven A. Nigrelli, the New York State Police Superintendent.
“Those are still under investigation as we speak. Those are isolated incidents, and it’s not reflective of the great community of Western New York, and I’m sure that they’ll be limited to those two incidents or at least that’s our hope.”
