A 38-year-old Queens man is facing time in the cooler after cops nabbed him leaving a Kew Gardens deli through an air conditioner casing.

Police said Ishmeal Lopez broke into the deli at 123-02 Metropolitan Ave. at about 5 a.m. on January 31 by pushing in the "guts" of a store air conditioner and climbing through the casing.

Cops busted Lopez when he was half-way out of the empty casing, his pockets filled with burglary tools, cash and bank checks.

Sources said Lopez didn't see the cops waiting to arrest him until he looked up as he tried to wiggle through the casing.

Lopez, dubbed the borough's "dumbest burglar" by law enforcement, was charged with burglary, criminal possession of stolen property and possession of burglar's tools. 107th Precinct
