Investigators are looking into an ongoing mystery in Brooklyn after police said that a man’s dead body was rolled in a hand truck and dumped in a driveway, tossed out like trash.
Police said that home security cameras in the area of 72nd Street and Fort Hamilton Parkway in Dyker Heights captured the gruesome and jarring images of the body being dumped in the rear part of a driveway around 11 a.m. Tuesday.
A man was seen on the surveillance footage using the hand truck to roll the body down the street before it was left in the driveway. The man who was seen on camera is not being labeled a suspect at this point of the investigation, according to police.
One neighbor who saw the swarm of officers after the frightening discovery said the neighborhood is a “very nice area,” and that the man may not have died in the area.
