Samuel Reveron, 25, and Kevin Rodriguez, 26, were each booked on two counts of trespassing.

At around 4 a.m., “the individuals were observed getting back into the vehicles and driving in tandem over the Queensboro Bridge, alerting the automatic license plate readers as to the vehicle’s’ VIN and license plate numbers,” the complaint said.

Reveron and Rodriguez, who own the vehicles, both “identified themselves as the individuals that entered the manhole” early Wednesday morning, according to the court document.

They “both described in sum and substance that they entered the manhole together to look for valuables that get washed away in the storm drains and sewers,” authorities said.
