Busted crook’s career a real Lulu

Cops have collared a prolific Manhattan retail menace who’s hit Lululemon stores a dozen times since January, including six times at one location, sources said.

“One-man crime spree”

Vincent Traficante, 37, has been arrested a dozen times this year with an insatiable taste for raiding Manhattan’s ritzy Lululemon boutiques, lawenforcement sources revealed to The Post.

The convicted thief was nabbed yet again Tuesday inside the brand’s Soho store, where he was caught red-handed with more than a dozen bags laden with expensive merchandise.

“He’s been working mostly on Long Island,” one police source said. “But just this year, in January, he came to New York. And he’s been running wild here.”

On Thursday, Traficante (inset) was arraigned in Manhattan Criminal Court on two counts of third-degree burglary and one count of fourth-degree grand larceny in the theft of pricey pieces from a pair of Lululemons three times in the past month.

Judge Jonathan Svetkey cited the career crook’s lengthy list of previous charges when he set bail at $10,000 cash, $20,000 insurance company bond and $30,000 bond/surety/partially secured, according to the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office. Svetkey tacked on a parole hold in another attempted robbery on Long Island.

Traficante racked up nearly a dozen criminal convictions in Suffolk and Nassau counties over the past few years, including a 2020 robbery that landed him in the clink, the sources said.

Cops nabbed Traficante on Tuesday during what was allegedly his sixth attempt at boosting merchandise from the Broadway Lululemon.

During his spree, he was caught on video pulling items out of the displays that were worth about $790 altogether, according to the complaint.
