A United Nations employee was busted for robbing four Manhattan banks — all during his lunch hour, authorities said.
Abdullahi Shuaibu, 53, was picked up by cops Monday and hit with two counts of robbery and two counts of attempted robbery for the crimes committed during his two-month spree.
All four banks are within walking distance of UN headquarters on First Ave. near E. 42nd St., where the Nigeria native works as a journalist for an African news agency, police said.
Authorities were led to the thief after a retired police officer who works at the facility recognized Shuaibu from a surveillance image previously released by the NYPD.
In the first incident, Shuaibu walked into a Santander Bank on Madison Ave. near E. 43rd St. on Feb. 27 and told the teller he had a gun. The bank employee complied and handed Shuaibu an unknown sum of money.

I think what we need to realize is these people really don't know any better. I mean we need to be understanding. They really just don't know that stealing is wrong. We just need to understand that they are all victims and somehow this is white Christian mans fault.
