An ex-con burglarized a Radio Shack store in Murray Hill three times, then sold the pilfered loot to a nearby shop, authorities said.
Samuel Pickney, 53, first broke into the electronics store at 534 Third Ave. on March 5 and made off with $650 worth of merchandise, court papers state.
He allegedly returned on July 13 and boosted 20 pairs of headphones valued at $1,060.
He slipped back in two days later and filched speakers, adapters and radios from a storage room, court records show.
Following each heist, Pickney was seen on surveillance video outside the store with the stolen merchandise, cops said.
After the July break-ins, Pickney unloaded the hot items at a store a few blocks away, cops added.
Pickney, who has served time behind bars on an attempted-burglary conviction, was nabbed on Aug. 14 and charged with burglary, grand larceny and possession of stolen property.

A big-mouth subway cellphone thief was hit with a grand-larceny rap yesterday after he blabbed to a cop that he had jumped down to a track bed in Greenwich Village to escape the pursuing victim, authorities said.
Daniel Shinon, 18, grabbed a phone from a man on an uptown F-train at 12:45 a.m. and fled toward the 14th Street PATH Station, according to a Port Authority police spokesman.
But he didn’t count on the enraged victim chasing after him — so the suspect dropped the phone and jumped onto the tracks to escape, the spokesman added.
A cleaning person spotted Pickney, and third-rail power was shut off.
The theft victim picked up his phone and left.
PA Police Officer Matthew Vogelman arrested Shinon on a trespassing rap — which was upgraded to grand larceny after Shinon allegedly explained why he was on the tracks.
“If he would have kept his mouth shut, he would have just been charged with theft of service and trespassing,” said a law-enforcement source.

Detectives arrested an ex-con suspected of burglarizing a West Brighton restaurant.
“I was needing money, so I went inside this club and robbed the place when I shouldn’t have,” David Walton, 36, allegedly offered as his reason for the Aug. 9 caper at Caramba Café on Dongan Street.
He made off with a safe containing $200 and another $60 in change, cops said.
Walton, who has done two prison stints, was linked to fingerprints found on the register, cops added.
He was picked up Wednesday on charges of burglary, petit larceny and possession of stolen property, said a spokesman for DA Daniel Donovan.
