<p>A real-life Grinch was allegedly caught in the act trying to steal Christmas — or at least the presents from under the tree — from a townhouse that is being rented by actor <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/robert-de-niros-restaurant-chain-nobu-took-up-to-28-million-in-taxpayer-loans/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Robert De Niro</a> on the Upper East Side on Monday.</p>
<p>Law enforcement sources shared the <a href="https://nypost.com/2022/12/19/known-burglar-caught-red-handed-at-robert-de-niros-nyc-townhouse/?_gl=1*1rkjvgl*_ga*MTkzMTkwODE1Ni4xNjY3OTUyODk2*_ga_0DZ7LHF5PZ*MTY3MTU2MDQ0NS4xNjMuMC4xNjcxNTYwNDcwLjAuMC4w&amp;_ga=2.100636638.1598016361.1670171891-1931908156.1667952896" target="_blank" rel="noopener">story</a> with The New York Post, revealing that the alleged culprit, Shanice Aviles, 30, was well-known as a serial burglar — and that police had been actively tracking her when she allegedly broke into the townhouse.</p>
<p>The NYPD’s 19th Precinct Public Safety team had reportedly been monitoring Aviles, following her as she attempted to get into a number of other buildings before ducking down some stairs and breaking into De Niro&#8217;s residence, allegedly using a pipe or a crowbar to pry her way in through the basement door.</p>
<p>&#8220;She was stealing Christmas presents,&#8221; a police official said. The report notes that when the 19th Precinct officers caught up with her — on the second floor of De Niro&#8217;s $69,000-per-month rental home — she was attempting to do something with the actor&#8217;s iPad and the presents under his Christmas tree.</p>
<p>Aviles <a href="https://www.mediaite.com/crime/watch-suspect-declares-she-didnt-murder-anybody-after-police-arrest-her-for-breaking-into-robert-de-niro-nyc-home/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">protested her innocence</a> when authorities picked her up, insisting, &#8220;I didn’t murder anybody!&#8221;</p>

<p lang="en" dir="ltr">Police caught a serial burglar stealing Christmas presents from inside Robert De Niro’s townhome in Manhattan early Monday morning, according to police sources. Shanice Aviles, 30, was arrested on burglary charges. <a href="https://t.co/lzzLy4qpVV">pic.twitter.com/lzzLy4qpVV</a></p>
<p>&mdash; PIX11 News (@PIX11News) <a href="https://twitter.com/PIX11News/status/1604991762920939520?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">December 20, 2022</a></p></blockquote>
<p>She also suggested that her arrival in DeNiro&#8217;s house was purely coincidental, telling spectators, &#8220;I didn’t go into Robert De Niro’s house.&#8221;</p>
<p>Aviles&#8217; arrest at De Niro&#8217;s home follows at least 16 other arrests this year alone — and is added to a lengthy rap sheet that includes at least 26 total arrests, the latest of which took place just a week prior to her arrival in De Niro&#8217;s townhouse.</p>
<p>She was arraigned on two burglaries that took place in Queens in October — she allegedly ransacked an apartment on October 1, stealing a debit card and using it to charge $50 at a nearby 7-11; and she also allegedly lifted $1000 in cash from St. Patrick’s Church in Dutch Kills just three weeks later. She was released without bail after her arraignment on those charges.</p>
<p>Her arraignment for the attempted burglary in the actor&#8217;s home <a href="https://nypost.com/2022/12/20/accused-de-niro-burglar-shanice-aviles-ordered-held-on-40k-bail/?utm_medium=SocialFlow&amp;utm_source=NYPTwitter&amp;utm_campaign=SocialFlow" target="_blank" rel="noopener">went a bit differently</a>, however, and Aviles is currently being held on $40,000 bail.</p>
<p>&#8220;She has repeatedly failed to take advantage of the rehabilitative services that enable her to detox and stay out of trouble and appear [for] court dates. The defendant demonstrated that she will not engage with services. She will not return to court and she will re-offend if she is released,&#8221; Manhattan Assistant District Attorney Dylan Los Huertos told the judge — and Manhattan Criminal Court Judge Melissa Lewis agreed.</p>
