Wheelchair-bound bag snatcher caught

The wheelcš“°hair-bound bandit who has been stealing womenā€™sā™’ purses from high-end Midtown restaurants and hotels has been caught, authorities said.

Matias šŸ’œMoreno-Boza, 25, was arrested Friday and charged with four thefts dating back to last monthā€.

In all šŸ”œof the incidents, the disabled thief rolls up to next to the unsuspecting women and takes their bags before wheeling himself out of sight, cops said.

Moreno-Boza first struck Aug. 19 at the Marriott Marquis Hotel on Broadway when he wheeled into in the lobby and loitered, pretendingšŸ… to be a guest, cops said.

He made his way over to a woman checking in at the front desk, snatched her bag without her noticing, and rolled out the door, making off with $300 in cash and a $5šŸŽ€00 gift card, police say.

The crook was at it again on Aug. 30 at the upscale Nobu 57 restaurant on West 57th Street aź¦t around 11 p.m., when he rolled over to a female diner and stole her leather Coach satchel.

Moreź¦‰no-Boza then used the womanā€™s American Express card to buy food ašŸŽt a nearby pizza joint.

Four days later he stoš“€le a šŸ”Æ40-year-old womanā€™s purse from Havana Central on West 46th Street at around 10 p.m.

The victim placed her purse on an empty chaā™‹ir before getting up to dance, cops said. Thatā€™s when Moreno-Boza made his way over to her table and gršŸ”œabbed her bag, making off with $115 and some credit cards.

The last known theft he committed was Sept. 6 at Txilkito on ąµ²Ninth Avenue when he stole a 35-year-old womanā€™s Gucci bag from the back of her chair while the victim was eating dinšŸ¦©ner, cops said.

Moreno-Boza engaged the woman in conversation before šŸ„€removing the purse and rolling out of the restaurant with an iš“†‰Phone, $150 and credit cards.

He was charged with four counts of grand larceny, cops saidšŸ”„.
