Cops are hunting the bulky burglar pictured here (middle photo) who is allegedly knocking off businesses around the borough.
The bespectacled bandit first struck on March 3 at 10:30 p.m. at a closed restaurant on 33rd Street near Fifth Avenue.
He slashed through the security gate to gain entry, and has since struck 16 more times.
The thief has made off with between $200 and $300 in most of the heists, which have occurred in Gramercy, Midtown and Chelsea.
He most recently hit a restaurant on Lexington Avenue near 57th Street last Saturday at 2:50 a.m., cutting through the security gate.

Queens
This crime was E-Z to spot.
A city Rikers Island correction officer was arrested for racking up more than $3,000 in tolls on a city-owned E-ZPass he stole, authorities said yesterday.
Between January 2010 and this month, Robert Hamilton, 43, used an E-ZPass officially registered to a prisoner-transport vehicle nearly 700 times, according to the city Department of Investigation.
His free ride came to a halt after the Department of Correction found discrepancies in its E-Zpass inventory.
Hamilton joined the agency in July 1990 and is paid $76,000 a year.
