A 28-year-old woman in London who was known for robbing old people and young people has been jailed for 2 years and 8 months.

28-year-old Gloria Makanjuola, also known as the Bus Bandit, robbed over a dozen of people from September 2018 to October 2018 during bus rides in east London.

The victims of Gloria were aged 18 to 87-years-old.

The oldest victim of the bus bandit is an 87-year-old pensioner.

Officials said Gloria sat next to the 87-year-old pensioner and tried to place her hands in pockets of the pensioner. The man told the woman to stop, but Gloria managed to steal at least 80 pounds in cash before getting out the bus.

Another victim of the bus bandit is an 18-year-old woman who Gloria stalked before robbing her. Officials said the serial thief kept touching the 18-year-old and was crying when she was being robbed.

The scared 18-year-old told Gloria to leave her alone, and Gloria left the bus after robbing her by pressing the emergency exit button.

After the 18-year-old left the bus, she realized that the robber stole her purse and her oyster card.

Gloria was identified by the police after investigating officers got hold of the CCTV footage from the buses the victims rode.

The victims of Gloria identified her after officers showed the videos.

The Snaresbrook Crown Court sentenced Gloria to 2 years and 8 months in Jail on Wednesday last week.

Gloria pleaded guilty to 8 counts of robbery, 4 counts of theft, and 4 counts of fraud.

Detective Sergeant Coleman, a senior investigating officer in the case, said Gloria, the bus bandit, was a prolific robber in the Hackney area of London.

Sergeant Coleman is part of the Met’s Roads and Transport Policing Command.

Detective Coleman added, “She targeted vulnerable passengers using the bus network system, committing robbery or theft offenses. If bank cards were stolen, she used the opportunity to use the cards to make contactless payments at local stores.”

The Detective continued, “Working in partnership with the Safer Transport Teams and Transport for London, Makanjuola was identified and arrested for various robbery and theft related offences. I would like to thank the victims in this investigation who had the courage to report these matters and assist in the police investigation. Without their support this outcome would not have been possible”

The London police are currently prioritizing the arrests of prolific robbers like Gloria who target vulnerable commuters.
