Drug addiction drives New York's relentless shoplifter

In New York City, David Andino, a frequent shoplifter, regularly targeted a specific Target store in TriBeCa due to his severe drug addiction. Each day, he navigated the store with the precision of someone who knew every corner, timing his thefts to evade quick police responses. On one occasion, he carefully moved past a security guard he was well-acquainted with and quickly gathered items like Sensodyne toothpaste and Crest White Strips into a laundry bag. Once he successfully stole the items, he took the subway uptown, knowing he would return to the store the next day to repeat the cycle. His mother, a retired police officer, had not seen him in years, highlighting the tragic divide caused by his addiction.
