Meet the shameless serial shoplifter who is still waltzing free down NYC store aisles despite a staggering 254 arrests.
Anthony White, 63, who has made larceny a career, was busted as recently as May on burglary charges after being paroled from prison on parole in December.
The thief was allegedly ripping off stores where he had already been banned for theft — but was set free by judges after his arraignments on the latest offenses, court records show.
Rampant shoplifting like White is accused of has prompted stores across the city to lock their goods behind plastic barricades.
While the number of offenses has dipped 10% so far this year over last year, the crime has surged 89% to more than 27,705 incidents this year from 14,286 in 2020, police data show.
