Put these nigs to work cleaning sewers. If they try to escape, shoot them.

Just 327 unrepentant crooks accounted for 30% of the Big Apple�s
22,000 shoplifting arrests last year, the NYPD said Thursday.

The staggering statistics mean the alleged recidivists got
busted a total of about 6,600 times � for an average of more
than 20 times each.

But even more alarming is where most of them are now � which is
right back on the streets, NYPD Chief of Crime Control
Strategies Michael Lipetri said during a briefing on 2022�s
CompStat numbers.

Lipetri said the city�s ongoing shoplifting crisis sparked about
63,000 complaints from merchants.

�We arrested 327 people, 327 people that account for 30% of all
the arrests,� he said. �All the arrests � 327 people are 30% of
our 22,000.�

Lipetri also said that �about half� of the group were �convicted
felons.�

�And guess what? Two hundred thirty-five of them � so 235 out of
327 � are walking around the streets of New York right now,� he
said. �Just doing what? Unfortunately, making stores close or
making families wait 15 minutes 20 minutes to get something
unlocked � because there�s not a lot of consequences.�

New York�s controversial, 2019 bail reform law generally
prohibits judges from setting bail in cases involving non-
violent felonies and misdemeanors such as shoplifting.

Mayor Eric Adams, who�s been calling on state lawmakers to roll
back bail reform, said Thursday that he planned to �return to
Albany this year to talk about things like, how do we look at
recidivism?�

The Post has exclusively exposed several serial shoplifters,
including self-proclaimed �professional booster� Michelle
McKelley, �Teflon con� Charles Wold and �Man of Steal� Isaac
Rodriguez � whose story led then-NYPD Commissioner Dermot Shea
to tweet: �Insanity. No other way to describe the resulting
crime that has flowed from disastrous bail reform law.�

Also during Thursday�s briefing at NYPD headquarters in Lower
Manhattan, Chief of Patrol John Chell said the department�s low-
profile Neighborhood Safety Teams seized 431 guns during 411
incidents that led to 501 arrests.

�One out of every four encounters resulted in a firearm being
removed from the street,� Chell said.

Adams called the work of the NSTs � which he established after
the NYPD�s controversial, undercover Anti-Crime Units were
disbanded under former Mayor Bill de Blasio � �a huge win for
us.�

�And those 500 guns mean 500 people are less likely to be shot,�
he said.

The NYPD�s year-end CompStat report showed major declines in
murders and shootings, which fell 11.3% and 17.2%, respectively,
compared to 2021.

But the overall rate of major crimes increased by 22.4%, with
double-digit spikes in five of the seven categories.

Auto thefts skyrocketed 32.2%, followed by robberies and grand
larcenies, which surged 25.5% and 25.2%.

Burglaries rose 22.1%, while felony assaults increased by 12.9%
and rapes were up 7.7%, according to the NYPD.

Well I'll be, I never thought this would be the end result of
the no-bail catch and release policy. Said no one, especially
the perps.

I think Tina Moore is missing a vital statistic. Please write to
her and ask what race the largest percentage of criminals were
