A migrant who led a gang of asylum-seeking thugs in a savage, caught-on-camera beating of two NYPD officers in Times Square and then quickly made bail was just busted for serial theft, police sources say.
Yohenry Brito, 24, of Venezuela was arrested late Tuesday for a pair of thefts at Manhattan Sephora locations: one in July in which he cut security wires on display cases to steal fragrances, and another Aug. 6, when he ripped off $1,358 worth of merchandise from store shelves before fleeing with an accomplice, who was not apprehended, police sources told The Post.
He was previously arrested and released over at least three other thefts — both before and after the shameful Times Square police beatdown.
Brito was one of seven migrants seen punching and kicking an NYPD officer and lieutenant in disturbing video captured the evening of Jan. 27 in Times Square, authorities said.
The scuffle began after officers attempted to break up a rowdy crowd.
Five of the accused cowardly asylum seekers — Yorman Reveron, 24, Jhoan Boada, 22, Wilson Juarez, 21, Darwin Andres Gomez-Izquiel, 19, and Kelvin Servita Arocha, 19 — were charged with assault on a police officer and obstructing governmental investigation and were released without bail.
Boada was later exonerated after prosecutors determined he was not one of the men seen in the video.
Brito was initially released with his alleged fellow cop-beaters, but he was taken back into custody after a public outcry and ordered held on $15,000 cash or a $50,000 bond because he was accused of sparking the scuffle with the cops and had two pending misdemeanor theft cases. --->READ MORE HERE

More than 7 million illegal migrants have entered the US under the Biden-Harris administration, the Judiciary report says
An illegal Venezuelan migrant with suspected gang ties who has allegedly committed 22 crimes in six months in New York City still hasn't been deported, according to a local news report and the House Judiciary Committee.
"The problem in New York is you have a sanctuary state and a sanctuary city, and they put politics ahead of public safety," said Tom Homan, who served as acting director of the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement under President Trump. "Sanctuary cities are sanctuaries for criminals."
Daniel Hernandez Martinez, 30, a reputed member of the ultra-violent Tren de Aragua gang, was first encountered by the U.S. Border Patrol in January 2023 in Texas, according to the House Judiciary report released Wednesday.
Agents noted his suspected gang affiliation and booted him back to Mexico under the auspices of the Trump-era Title 42 order that allowed for speedy deportations, the New York Post reported.
But Martinez again breached the border and made his way to New York City to kick off a six-month crime spree, "terrorizing" helpless residents, the government report alleges.
He was arrested and released eight times for alleged crimes that included attacks on two police officers and three strangers before ICE took him into custody.
In July 2023, Martinez allegedly was in the process of stealing a bag of potato chips and some toothpaste when he was confronted by an undercover officer. He was arrested after brandishing a knife and threatening the cop, but he was released without bail and the charges were later dropped, the Post reported.
Martinez was busted three times the following month, charged with assaulting two cops and a woman along with a separate theft count.
ICE sought a detainer against Martinez after his seventh New York City arrest in September. He was being held at Rikers Island jail, which doesn't cooperate with ICE, and released in November 2023, according to The Post. --->READ MORE HERE
