NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) – An auxiliary officer with the NYPD allegedly hacked into various law enforcement databases as part of an elaborate fraud scheme, authorities said Tuesday.

Yehuda Katz allegedly installed a hidden camera in the traffic safety office in the 70th Precinct station house. He also allegedly installed a device that would allow him to access a computer there remotely. Katz, 45, is an auxiliary deputy inspector at that Brooklyn precinct, authorities said.
