A woman has jailed after she stole a doctor's identity card while he was in a pharmacy.
Sabrina Moustaki, from Coventry, was caught on CCTV on April 22 breaking into the NHS worker's car to steal his bag - which contained his work ID card and bank cards.
The doctor only realised what had happened when he went back to his car.
Moustaki pleaded guilty to a charge of theft from a motor vehicle at Coventry Magistrates Court on Wednesday, West Midlands police said.
She has been jailed for eight weeks and will pay a £128 fine.
Detective Inspector Amar Patel of West Midlands Police said: “It’s terrible to think that during this current Covid-19 crisis, some people are still seeking and taking opportunities to commit crime and cause unnecessary stress on people in what is already a difficult time.
“Stealing from anyone is bad enough, but to so brazenly break into a car during daylight hours that happened to belong to a NHS key worker is beyond words and I welcome this quick arrest, charge and sentencing of Moustakim.”
