3 NYPD Cops Stole $3,000 Worth of Champagne While Working at E-Zoo Festival: DA 
Three NYPD detectives were indicted after allegedly stealing thousands of dollars in champagne from the VIP area of New York City's annual Electronic Zoo Music Festival, the Manhattan district attorney announced. The alleged theft took place at the 2022 concert on Randall's Island, DA Alvin Bragg said Monday. Jonathan Gonzalez, Wojciech Cech and Warren Golden were working narcotics enforcement on Sept. 3 and were in the VIP area around 7 p.m. as the concert was ongoing. Concertgoers at a nearby table had ordered bottles of Ace of Spades champagne, and then stepped away, according to court documents and statements. That's when the 33-year-old Gonzalez took two of the unopened bottles — which cost a total of $2,900 — and put them on a table. Gonzalez went to get a backpack, and Czech, 44, allegedly handed them to him to put in the bag.
