An investigation into her crimes found victims across Derbyshire, Leicestershire and Staffordshire.
A prolific pickpocket who preyed on elderly women in charity shops across the Midlands has been jailed.A Derbyshire Police investigation into a string of similar incidents in Swadlincote identified a CCTV image of Sarbanovic as a suspect.
Searches at the scene of the vehicle stop and her home found her in possession of purses, ID cards, phones, house keys, wallets, purses, bank cards, bus passes and library cards belonging to her victims. Crimes were reported in Alfreton, Bakewell, Belper, Buxton, Matlock, Somercotes and Swadlincote, in Derbyshire.
PC Joe Stafford, case officer with Derbyshire Police, said Sarbanovic targeted her victims due to their "advanced age, their trusting nature, and their very character."He added: “I hope that she has finally understood the effect of her actions on others, who have doubtless felt angry and upset for being the victims of such callous offending.”
