Actor Michael Rapaport records brazen ‘shoplifting’ at NYC Rite Aid: ‘Christmas in January’

Among the customers outraged by a rash of thefts that is forcing at least one Manhattan Rite Aid to close is actor Michael Rapaport — who said he witnessed the pillaging first hand.

Rapaport posted on Instagram what he said was a man shoplifting items from an Upper East Side branch of the pharmacy and walking out — past a security guard — with no repercussions.

“This f---ing guy just filled his two bags up with everything in Rite Aid, right here on 80th and First Avenue [and] is walking down the street like s—t is Gucci. I was watching him the whole time.”

Rapaport recorded him carrying the bags out of the store and down the street.

“Looking me in my face like, ‘What’s good?,’” Rapaport claims. “My man just went Christmas shopping in January. He had the condoms, the shampoo.”

Rapaport tagged Mayor Adams’ account in a caption for the video, which had more than 132,000 views by Tuesday night.

“Duke (sic) just went CHRISTMAS SHOPPING at @riteaid,” Rapaport wrote. “I’m TRIPPING this happened in broad day like it was nothing.”

Among those responding to the post was “Saved by the Bell” actor Mario Lopez, who wrote, “Dude looked up at Security and said… ‘Sup?’”

Rapaport said the store is set to close Feb. 15.

A Rite Aid representative did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Last week company officials confirmed that another Manhattan location at Eighth Ave. and W. 50th St. is shutting down for good next month, though they would not confirm worker speculation that the closure is crime-related.

Police said there were 74 complaints from that single Rite Aid store since Jan. 1, 2020, including 45 reports of petty larceny, or shoplifting, according to NYPD data. The other complaints included nine grand larcenies and eight robberies.

In 2019, police counted 35 reported petty larcenies at the W. 50th St. store. Workers said not all of the thefts were reported.
