The Collier County Sheriff's Office arrested an elderly woman they say has stolen hundreds of dollars worth of bras from a Naples store multiple times.

Myrna Plotkin, 78, was arrested Saturday after deputies say she walked out of the Nordstrom Rack store in the Mercato with seven bras, two cami-style tops, and a pair of earrings without paying. The items stolen were worth $271.

Deputies say this isn't the first time Plotkin has stolen from the store. In July, they say she stole three bras worth $299. During two separate incidents in August, deputies say Plotkin stole seven bras, three cami-style shirts, and a ring, worth $324 total.

Loss prevention workers at Nordstrom Rack told deputies they'd been trying to catch Plotkin since July. 

This was Plotkin's second offense for petit theft.
