‘Little focker’ busted ‘stealing Christmas presents’ from Robert De Niro’s NYC home

A serial burglar was caught red-handed rifling through Robert De Niro’s rented Manhattan townhouse Monday — fiddling with the famed actor’s iPad and presents under his Christmas tree, law enforcement sources told The Post.

Shanice Aviles, 30, allegedly crept down a stairwell leading to the 79-year-old Oscar-winner’s basement on the Upper East Side around 2:30 a.m. and forced her way inside using a pipe or metal bar, according to police and the sources.

Eagle-eyed cops with the NYPD’s 19th Precinct Public Safety team had been keeping an eye on Aviles — a “known burglar” with at least 26 past arrests on her rap sheet. She was spotted trying to open doors to commercial buildings in the neighborhood before she got to the townhouse, the sources said.

The officers trailed her into De Niro’s home and found her on the second floor – fumbling around with his iPad, according to sources.

“She was stealing Christmas presents,” a police official added.

There are photos of the “Irishman” star all over the $69,000-a-month rental home, according to the sources – but the actor himself was upstairs sleeping at the time. No one inside — including the actor’s daughter who was in a bedroom — knew what was going on, the sources said.

Aviles was charged with burglary — adding to an already-lengthy rap sheet that includes at least 16 arrests this year alone, according to sources. – Source
