A career criminal with more than 50 prior arrests added yet another to his résumé Monday — when cops busted him for tampering with 16 MetroCard machines, according to sources.

Jimmy Glover, 33, allegedly messed with the slew of different machines over a four-month span.

He began targeting the devices in June, sources said.

Cops charged him with 16 counts of criminal tampering.

“He probably just want to bust the machines so he could sell swipes,” a police source said.

The stations that Glover allegedly targeted were all in Manhattan. He has a total of 53 previous arrests on his record, mostly for pot and trespassing.
