NASSAU- Serial thief Anastacia Moree is back on the streets after she was placed on probation for thefts from two pensioners.
Moree, 42, who has a criminal record that dates back to 2004, reoffended soon after serving two years of a three year sentence for thefts targeting elderly women.
Moree preyed on two women, ages 70 and 73, in May by offering them rides from the Mall at Marathon.
Both women had recently withdrawn money from ATMs with the intention of paying their bills.
Moree stole $300 from the 70-year-old and $180 from the 73-year-old.
Moree distracted the 70-year-old and stole the money from her purse. She placed her hands in the 73-year-old woman’s pocket after asking her if she had change.
Moree pleaded guilty at her arraignment, but she was remanded for a psychiatric evaluation and probation report pending sentencing.
She told a probation officer that her mother, who is a police officer, had put “obeah on her.”
The prolific offender spent five months in custody before she was sentenced.
In addition to the probation order, the former Tribune writer must compensate her victims.
She will be sentenced to three months in prison if she doesn’t repay the stolen money or violates the terms of her probation.
