SERIAL bag snatcher Kim Lea Scully, 43, has been banned from two shopping centres after her arrest yesterday on outstanding theft charges dating back 12 months.
Scully fronted Brisbane's Roma Street Magistrates Court yesterday over the fresh stealing charges.
It was alleged Scully stole two handbags from elderly women in March last year, one from the trolley of an 88-year-old woman doing her grocery shopping.
Magistrate Anne Thacker granted bail on the condition Scully stay away from both the Stafford and Chermside shopping centres on Brisbane's northside. Scully told the court she had turned over a new leaf and wanted to spend more time with her two-year-old son.
"Your Honour, I have no intention of going outside the house," Scully said.
Ms Thacker replied: "This is your last chance. Don't go shopping and stealing."
Scully was jailed in 2011 for similar robberies, most targeting elderly women.
She gained notoriety for robbing another victim, 79, only three hours after a judge allowed her to walk from a courtroom because she "deserved another chance".
The mother-of-three allegedly asked the pensioner for help then stole her wallet.
In that case, Scully had just left the District Court in Brisbane, where she had faced four counts of stealing and a charge of unlawful use of a motor vehicle from a 2008 incident.
She pleaded guilty to all five charges, including the theft of items worth $925 and received two years' probation.
Judge Michael Noud said at the time there "was still hope" for her despite her long history.
