A Logan mother’s wild, stealing spree where she stole scooters, cars and mopeds has seen her face court again and accrue a whopping SPER debt.

Kayla Louise Eggmolesse, 25, pleaded guilty in Beenleigh Magistrates Court on Wednesday, October 4 to unlawful use of a motor vehicle, evasion and eight counts of stealing.

The court heard that Eggmolesse, from Slacks Creek, stole an e-scooter from outside the Imperial Hotel in Beenleigh on January 30, 2022.

She was later found by police and charged with evasion and unlawful use of a motor vehicle.

Eggmolesse also drove a moped that was not hers and a car on that same day.

She also stole an iPad and other items from a Logan shopping centre, and was charged with eight counts of stealing.

Eggmolesse, from Slacks Creek, had nine previous counts of unlawful use of a motor vehicle on her criminal history and accrued a SPER debt of $43,000.

She has never held a driver’s licence.

The court heard Eggmolesse was mother to an eight-year-old and planned to work as a cleaner for her friend when released from custody.

Magistrate Michael O’Driscoll said her history was concerning with repeated unlawful use of a motor vehicle offences.

“You’ve not learnt about the unsafe use of motor vehicles and you’ve never held a driver’s licence,” he said.

“Your SPER debt is very large and that will stay with you until you do something about it.

“You need to get help with drugs and alcohol, self-medication is never going to be a solution.”

Eggmolesse was sentenced to 12 months prison and given an immediate parole eligibility date.

She had already served 70 days of pre-sentence custody.
