Thefts in the city’s transit system have shot up nearly 90% so far this year, cops said Tuesday.
“Caught & arrested again!” the NYPD tweeted. “Yesterday,Public Safety officers arrested a known pickpocket recidivist. This is the man’s 11th Grand Larceny arrest this year alone. Our officers will remain resilient in addressing subway crimes & our commitment is unwavering.”
The suspect, who lives on East 182nd Street, has a total of 20 arrests on his record since 2004, a police source said. The majority of the arrests were for crimes in transit, the source said. Williams allegedly stole a woman’s wallet from her backpack while aboard a No. 6 subway in Manhattan at 8:45 a.m. on July 18, cops said. The woman told police “she felt a tugging and pushing on her backpack,” cops said in court documents. The woman saw the reflection of the thief in the subway door and described him to police, who were able to find surveillance video of the man, cops said.
The robber charged $130.75 on one of the cards for a MetroCard purchase, cops said. The detective reviewed surveillance video and found the suspect was the same man as in the first case, authorities said.
