Police Commissioner Edward Caban has resigned amid an ongoing federal investigation, multiple published reports indicated Thursday morning.

A high-ranking police source with knowledge of the matter confirmed to amNewYork Metro that Caban is stepping down from the post he held for roughly a year as head of the 34,000-member NYPD.

Caban departs the post amid an ongoing federal probe that saw his cell phone confiscated and an investigation into the nightlife dealings of his twin brother. The U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York is apparently behind this investigation.

Earlier this week, Politico had reported Caban’s resignation was imminent; but multiple sources denied that the story was true. On Tuesday, Mayor Eric Adams also denied rumors he was seeking Caban’s departure, though he did not give him an explicit vote of confidence in his leadership.

Three Brooklyn residents faced an early morning nightmare Thursday after armed robbers came calling in a dramatic home invasion, authorities said.

Four men climbed through a window near the foyer of a home on the 1900 block of 80th Street in Bensonhurst, at around 4 a.m. on Sept. 12, according to police sources.

Once inside, cops said, the armed intruders used a handgun to pistol-whip a 34-year-old man across his head, causing a large laceration. Another assailant punched a 41-year-old man in the face, causing a cut to his cheek, law enforcement sources reported.

Both male victims and a 19-year-old woman were zip-tied by the suspects, who then ransacked the house looking for valuables, police said.

Moments later, the violent crooks made off watches, pocketbooks, and $20,000 in cash, according to police. The perpetrators — who, authorities said, wore all-black clothing — fled inside a dark-colored vehicle.

The incident was reported to the 62nd Precinct. The female victim was not injured.

Anyone with information regarding the incident can call Crime Stoppers at 800-577-TIPS (for Spanish, dial 888-57-PISTA). You can also submit tips online at crimestoppers.nypdonline.org, or on X (formerly Twitter) @NYPDTips.
