A serial pickpocket with more than 30 busts under his belt was pinched again last week while targeting unsuspecting tourists at Rockefeller Center, only to be dumped back on the street the next day, law-enforcement sources and authorities told The NY Post.

Gary Teasley, 65 — who has been known to wear snazzy outfits, including a long dark fur coat and fashionable hat, during his alleged crimes — is so familiar to cops that they’re on a first-name basis, a source said. Teasley is such an illicit pro that he also used to keep a storage locker with stolen wallets and other goods — and a detailed record of the heists, broken down by location and category, sources said.

But the ex-con didn’t even get slapped with a supervised-release restriction, much less a bail, after his latest arrest. In his latest bust, Teasley was charged with allegedly trying to rob a 71-year-old tourist from Massachusetts at the popular holiday hot spot, his favorite haunt this time of year, sources said.

Teasley was arrested Friday after police said they spotted him unzipping the woman’s purse and reaching inside, according to a criminal complaint filed in the case. Teasley was hauled into court on charges of fourth-degree attempted grand larceny and “jostling.” He was released without bail.

Teasley has a lengthy criminal record, mostly for possession of stolen property. He’s due back in Manhattan court on the new arrest Jan. 14. Read more at The NY Post.

  1. Why would Matzav.com, in their great integrity as a news site, censor the fact that democrat State Senator Todd Kaminsky is responsible for bail reform???! Are you as corrupt as CNN?! Are you little kids an arm of msnbc?
