Isaac Rodriguez, 22, has a long criminal record due to his serial thefts in drug stores and shops in New York City 

A New York City kleptomaniac holds the record for the most shoplifting arrests in one year.  

In 2021, Isaac Rodriguez, 22, was arrested 46 times for retail theft.

During that spree, he stole from Walgreen stores at least 37 times - including one Queens store which he hit at least 23 times.

In total he was arrested 57 times for offenses including petit and grand larceny and gang assault.

The 22-year-old has been a serial shoplifter since he was just 15 years old.

Since his criminal record started back in 2015, he has accumulated 74 offenses, The New York Post reported. 

From baby formula, lotion, lingerie, and Dove soap to energy drinks and Sensodyne toothpaste, Rodriguez reportedly stole from dozens of stores in plain sight.

Police said he would usually enter the targeted place for the robbery with a bag that he'd fill with items he deemed convenient as store managers and employees watched.

Rodriguez was jailed this summer after bond to capture him was set at $15,000 by Queens Criminal Court Judge David Kirschner.

Although his shoplifting record was serial, most of Rodriguez's offenses were not bail-eligible.

But after being arrested for shoplifting at a Walgreens in Corona for the 13th time on August 24, he was unable to walk free because of a statue that made it possible for bail if an individual is caught committing a crime while out on their own recognizance for another crime.

Rodriguez's criminal history was limited to theft charges including petit and grand larceny until this summer, when his crime spree reached a violent turn.

In June, Rodriguez and other men robbed, hit, and stabbed 39-year-old Pablo Cusco in Jackson Heights after Cusco gave them a dollar they had asked for.

Commissioner Dermot Shea shared the posts' article on Rodriguez on Saturday and tweeted:'Insanity. No other way to describe the resulting crime that has flowed from disastrous bail reform law'
