MIDTOWN — A thief stole $113.80 worth of ice cream from a Times Square Duane Reade in yet another ice cream heist, police said.

The unknown male went into the convenience store at 900 Eighth Avenue around 2:45 p.m. on Feb. 22 and took 20 containers of Häagen-Dazs from a freezer, according to police.

After stashing the desserts in his backpack, the thief passed the store’s cash registers and left the store, police said.  

A manager at the 900 Eighth Ave. Duane Reade declined to comment on Monday.

Ice cream thieves target drug stores like Duane Reade and re-sell the frozen treats to bodegas, police said earlier this month.
