Man, that’s a lot of bread
/
“shoplifters are just stealing bread to feed their hungry children.” Hungry kids with a sweet tooth, that is.
The cold-hearted robber was seen double-fisting the frozen treat before bolting the Morton Williams market at 22nd St. and Park Avenue South on Aug. 5 at around 1:30 p.m., store officials said.
Store clerks stopped the man – who was wearing shorts, a white T-shirt and a knapsack – outside the store and when they unzipped his backpack more pints came spilling out onto the steaming sidewalk in the afternoon heat, according to a video of the incident posted on TikTok.
“All the time you are coming in there to steal,” one of the clerks is heard saying in the video.
“This guy has been coming every two or three days,” Olave told The Post on Wednesday. “We finally caught him.”
“He’s a neighborhood thief” who specializes in Haagen-Dazs ice cream, Olave added. “We haven’t seen him in any of our other stores.”
Police arrived within 15 minutes to arrest Milton Ramirez, according to a police report and a complaint from the District Attorney’s office obtained by The Post.
The 36-year-old career criminal has 39 arrests mostly for petty larceny, according to court records. He was charged with petty larceny on Aug. 8 in the latest incident, according to court records.
I’m sure he’s already back home, enjoying a nice dish of rum-choco-chip.
but my babies!
