Tony Scott, 38, was arrested for his alleged involvement in 19 burglaries across Manhattan since his release from prison on parole in September. He targeted businesses in various neighborhoods, stealing electronics and other valuables. Scott was apprehended by the Midtown South public safety unit and faces charges for the burglaries, some of which were captured on surveillance footage.
A “one man scourge” with a lengthy rap sheet was busted this week in connection to nearly 20 heists across Manhattan — all allegedly committed in the few months since he was released from prison on parole, sources said.
“He was a one man scourge – he was hitting every neighborhood in lower Manhattan – the Village, Financial District, Chinatown, Gramercy Park, Midtown,” a Manhattan cop told The Post. “Every precinct was looking for him.” Scott was granted parole and released on Sept. 30 from state prison, where he had been held since August of 2018 in connection to seven burglaries, according to the sources and public records. Washington state woman, 21, arrested in fatal shooting of US Border Patrol agentScott, who has at least 32 busts on his record, mostly for burglary, was finally picked up Tuesday by the Midtown South public safety unit.
They include a Nov. 13 heist at Rich Begany Photography on West 26th Street, where Scott allegedly sneaked inside behind another person who was leaving — and swooped up a whopping $62,000 in equipment, according to a criminal complaint. And between Jan. 6 and 7, Scott allegedly made off with laptops, cell phones, blankets and other loot worth $16,000 from inside the John Varvatos men’s clothing store on Spring Street, according to the court document.
Scott is set to appear again in court on Monday, and could spend up to 15 years behind bars, if convicted.
