The first part, "take a bite out of crime", is a slogan used by the National Crime Prevention Council, which gives its messages through a cartoon character called McGruff the crime dog.
I have no idea why "and kinda wanted seconds" was on there. It makes no sense to me. Are you sure you didn't misread it?
It's also possible that you saw one of those Asian T-shirts that has nonsensical English on it. For a while in Europe there was a shirt from Asia for sale that said, "Driving car go country. Sometimes I see you in my dreams. I wonder why." It's total nonsense, and whoever designed the shirt must have found phrases somewhere and just put them together. This happens a lot with T-shirts made in Asia. |

I guess it could mean that he enjoyed fighting crime so much that he wanted to do it again.
to "want seconds" means you want another serving of the food or dish you just ate. Here is a blog thats titled "Gonna want seconds", meaning the food is so good that you will want a second serving.
