NEW YORK (1010 WINS) -- A Halloween warehouse party with over 550 people was busted by authorities in the Bronx early Sunday for violating state COVID orders—a day after a similar massive bust in Brooklyn.
The NYC Sheriff’s Office said deputies shut down the illegal party at 1420 Seabury Ave. in the Westchester Square section around 1:30 a.m.
Over 557 people were at the party in violation of state emergency orders to stop the spread of COVID, according to authorities.
Photos from the Sheriff’s Office show many partiers not wearing masks or social distancing at the warehouse.
Authorities said 21 organizers were charged with multiple misdemeanors, including health and alcohol offenses. They said organizers didn’t have a liquor license.
The bust came a day after Sheriff deputies broke up a Brooklyn warehouse party with nearly 400 people on Friday night.
A warehouse party was also shut down in Ridgewood, Queens on Friday night. Police said officers seized alcohol in that bust.
