Vehicle keys, credit cards and gym membership cards were then stolen.

Police also believe the same woman used the stolen keys to steal the vehicles, and used the stolen credit cards to commit fraud.  They said the gym cards were used to enter the gyms again, or enter other locations owned by the same companies.

Jessi Dawn Byron, 22, of Calgary is charged with 28 counts of stolen property, 14 counts of theft under $5,000 and six counts of theft of a motor vehicle.  She also faces two counts of fraud and six traffic offences.
