New York City investigators searched Sheriff Anthony Miranda’s Queens office on Thursday after receiving a report about unvouchered cash, according to the city Department of Investigation — marking yet another potential criminal probe into an appointee of Mayor Eric Adams.
“DOI is investigating matters related to the Sheriff’s Office and was present at the Sheriff’s Long Island City location yesterday,” department spokesperson Diane Struzzi said in a statement. “DOI will not be commenting further as this is an ongoing investigation.”
According to testimony before the City Council last week, multiple complaints have been filed with DOI about improper cash seizures during what the city has dubbed “Operation Padlock,” a citywide push to crack down on illegal pot shops.

“Under oath, Sheriff Miranda said his office wasn’t in charge of that and if they had seized any cash, he wouldn’t know where it was. Now it seems that was a lie,” @JustinBrannan said after safes w/ cash from weed shop raids were found at the sheriff’s HQ. https://t.co/CBPhOLzoO0
