Footage has emerged of brazen thieves stealing more than 100 plants from a home in Kardinya.

The CCTV footage sent to Nine News from one of the neighbours, shows a woman stealing a huge mosaic art piece in the early hours of Saturday morning.

WAtoday understand the thieves got away with 100 plants, a glass teapot and a metal bird over the period of one hour.

It's not the first time an offender has been caught on camera, after a woman dubbed the "Christmas Grinch" was captured pinching parcels from a home in Wanneroo in December.

Ashton Coverley pleaded guilty to six stealing offences in Joondalup Magistrates Court in May and was fined $2400 and ordered to pay thousands in compensation after completing a court-ordered drug and alcohol program.

Coverley and her co-accused were caught on CCTV following delivery vans in Perth's northern suburbs and taking parcels from doorsteps.

The footage was widely circulated on social media and led to the 26-year-old and her 25-year-old co-accused being arrested a day later on December 17.

In August, two woman were caught on camera lifting five baskets of clothes from Clothes on the Nose Laundromat in Warnbro.
