The graceless woman who stole an Uber driver's tips from his jar has been identified as an 18-year-old girl from Brooklyn who has since mocked her crime on social media.

Gabrielle Canales, who calls herself Gabita on social media, was identified on Tuesday after footage of her stealing cash from driver Mohammed H. Bhuiyan's tip jar in August went viral.

On August 12, a scantily-clad Canales was filmed reaching into his jar and snatching his cash as she got out of the car with two friends.

The footage went viral on Tuesday after reappearing online but Canales was remorseless and appeared to revel in her newfound infamy.

She shared screenshots of news articles about it on Instagram and Snapchat and said she 'only' took $5 from the man which she claims to have returned later.

Before getting into his car, she posed in her underwear in Crown Heights, Brooklyn, for two Instagram pictures. The young girl is believed to have grown up in Central Islip, New York.

The date on the Instagram was August 12 - the same day as the video

In another Instagram picture taken on the day in question, Canales posed in the same bralet and skirt as she wore in the car. After her identity was revealed onTuesday afternoon, she deleted all three photos from August 12

On Tuesday, the young woman tried to make light of the crime by sharing memes on social media including this one

A third photo showed her still wearing the mustard-colored skirt she had on in the Uber.

She deleted all three photos from August 12 on Tuesday afternoon where her identity went public.

Canales was filmed coyly glancing towards the driver's camera before making off with the money in the August 12 video.

By the time he realized it was gone, she and her two friends had left the car.

Her two friends in the car seemed unaware of her plot and did not respond as she snatched the money before getting out.

On the same day, the boy in their group however taunted police by sitting in front of a line-up of cops sitting on a locked-up bicycle. He captioned the image: 'Who's bike?' [sic].

According to the driver who drove the trio on the same day, Uber dropped the matter when they contacted Canales and she denied ever stealing the money.

They told him take the matter to police if he wanted to pursue it further but the man says he was too busy.

Uber has since contacted him again to offer him more support and have banned Canales from using the app.

The teenager joked about posting mirror selfies on the same day as the theft and took pleasure in correcting social media commentators who flooded her page with criticism

Canales, 18, claimed she gave the money, which she said amounted to $5, back to the driver but he has not confirmed her story

Canales is an avid social media user who regularly shares photographs of herself wearing few clothes and drinking alcoholic drinks from the bottle

She did not delete all her instagrams on Tuesday, only the ones from the day of the robbery

'What’s been shown has no place on our app and the rider’s access to the app has been removed,' as spokesman for Uber told DailyMail.com.

Although the entire app is cashless, Uber drivers now have the freedom to solicit tips from passengers.

Passengers can also tip on their phone at the end of a journey.

While the company has never strictly prohibited tipping, the company has now made it clear that tips are allowed.

The video was first published on YouTube in August but since gained attention online this weekend.

It is not clear whether or not police have investigated it.

On the same day, one of the woman's friends who was in the Uber with her shared this photograph sitting on a locked-up bicycle in front of three NYPD officers. He captioned it 'Who's bike' '[sic]
