A daring councilwoman was arrested for shoplifting from two stores in less than 24 hours.

Carla Dressler was seen on security camera stealing clothing items from stores in Pontes e Lacerda, Brazil and was apprehended by the Mato Gross Civil Police on Tuesday.

Dressler first visited a fitness store and grabbed a green gym set from a display table.

The lawmaker folded the outfit and placed it inside her handbag. She then turned away and stepped over to a rack as her daughter approached her from behind and tried to get her attention.

Store employees were concerned about Dressler’s behavior and alerted the police at about 4pm.

The items were valued at around $108.

She was located at an address nearby wearing the green training outfit and was taken to a station, where she confessed to the crime and then was released after paying bail.

A second store owner then contacted the police to report that Dressler had also stolen from their location.

The shocking footage showed a female sales associate assisting Dressler and showing her some of the clothing items. 

The councilwoman first grabbed a dress priced at $108 and a skirt valued at $44.

In a span of a second, she was able to somehow stuff both items into her bag without the worker noticing.

Mato Grosso authorities are now investigating if other businesses have been targeted Dressler.

Dressler was elected as councilwoman in the Mato Grosso municipality of Vale de São Domingo in 2024 after tallying 84 votes in a city with a population of about 3,000 residents.

According to the Superior Electoral Court’s Disclosure of Candidates and Electoral Accounts, the councilwoman graduated from high school.

It’s unknown if she attended a university.

Leading up to the elections, Dressler, who has been married for 17 years and has two daughters, declared that she had around $900 worth of assets.

However, the first-time politician earns a monthly salary of about $810.
