Perps with HUNDREDS of arrests make a mockery of New York’s criminal-justice system

Shoplifters and petty criminals are making a mockery of New York City’s criminal-justice system, and Anthony White is the poster boy for the problem.

White, 63, is a serial shoplifter with a whopping 254 arrestsThe Post’s Matthew Fischetti and Vaughn Golden report.

In May, he was nabbed again on burglary charges — allegedly hitting stores he’d already been banned from — and once again set free, per court records.

White was accused of stealing two shirts from a shop at Rockefeller Center, and prosecutors asked for $3,000 cash or $60,000 bond.

Judge Kacie Lally nonetheless released him on supervised release.

Then again, Lally even freed Edwin Wright after he allegedly beat up a 15-year-old Manhattan school girl — only for Wright to be accused of clubbing a 94-year-old woman over the head with a metal object just months later.
