The FBI has raided the home of NYPD Commissioner Edward Caban as part of a probe into NYC corruption on Thursday.

Federal agents also raided the homes of NYPD chief Raul Pintos and two precinct commanders in Queens and Manhattan, sources told Pix 11. 

Caban’s phones were reportedly taken by officials, as were the electronic devices of two NYPD lieutenants who worked in the commissioner’s office and on his detail.

The FBI searched Caban’s house the same day as the homes of several top aides of mayor Eric Adams were targeted by federal officials; deputy NYC mayor Phil Banks and Sheena Wright were also raided as part of a separate probe.

Those raids unfolded in tandem at Wright’s Hamilton Heights townhouse in upper Manhattan and Banks’ Hollis, Queens property. 

Banks’ brother, former MTA official and current lobbyist Terence Banks, was also targeted. 

Meanwhile another top Adams’ aide, Timothy Pearson, reportedly had his phones subpoenaed, according to the New York Post. 

It comes after the FBI took Mayor Adams’ cell phone and laptop and raided the home of his campaign treasurer, Brianna Suggs, last November amid an investigation into his 2021 campaign.

Sources told Pix11 the raid on Caban’s home stemmed from a separate probe than the investigation into Adams’ campaign financing.
