Lawmakers express outrage over NYC’s ‘revolving door’ shoplift crisis that’s killing local businesses

“It’s utterly ridiculous that a small subset of career criminals make up 30% of shoplifting arrests in 2022,” said City Councilman Robert Holden (D-Queens), citing alarming statistics that the NYPD revealed last week that 327 career crooks were busted a total of about 6,600 times.
