A Little Rock woman charged with breaking into multiple vehicles and stealing and using debit and credit cards was sentenced to six years in prison during a session of Baxter County Circuit Court Thursday.
Twenty-three-year-old Mikila Rosia Thomas was facing 25 felony counts.
In addition to prison time, Thomas was ordered to pay half of the almost $5,600 victim restitution assessed in the case. The other half is to be paid by her co-defendant, 27-year-old Anjanette Yancy.

Yancy had earlier been sentenced to six years in prison for her part in the thefts.
According to the probable cause affidavit, Mountain Home police took various reports in October and November 2018 of vehicles being broken into and personal property taken.
As the victim in one of the break-ins was talking to police, she received notice from a company informing her the card was being used at Walmart in Mountain Home.
Surveillance video showed two females using the stolen card at a self-checkout stand. In one part of the video, the two women appear to be having issues attempting to use cards.
Walmart provided receipts from purchases Yancy and Thomas made, reflecting the amount and the numbers of the credit cards used at the store.
The handling of Thomas Baxter County case was delayed because she was locked up in the Lincoln Parish, Louisiana, jail on burglary and theft charges.
