Protesters have caused nearly $1M in damages to NYPD vehicles

Demonstrators in Gotham have vandalized roughly 300 cop cars and caused nearly $1 million in damages to NYPD vehicles since the start of the George Floyd protests, The Post has learned.

The tally comes just days after a chaotic scene in downtown Manhattan where anti-cop protesters, rallying in solidarity with those in Portland and Seattle, torched a half-dozen police vans.

Of the 310 vehicles, 282 had been fixed up and put back into the rotation while 14 had to be scrapped altogether, according to police officials. The remaining 14 NYPD vehicles were still in the shop.

“We saved the city thousands of dollars by using the glass from the cars that were already off the road and we would have had to wait about 6 weeks for new glass,” Deputy Commissioner of Support Services Robert Martinez told The Post.
