Hot accused steals internet infamy

21-year-old 'hot criminal' Stéphanie Beaudoin.

A nursing student clad in a bikini has emerged as the latest alleged "hot criminal" to capture internet attention.

Stéphanie Beaudoin, 21, was arrested in Victoriaville, Quebec, last month on 114 counts.

She is accused of 42 break-ins and stealing guns.

The Huffington Post Canada reports that Ms Beaudoin is alleged to have carried out the break-ins alongside three teenaged accomplices, breaking into empty homes through back doors or basement windows in the Arthabaska and l'Érable areas.

She allegedly had nine stolen firearms in the boot of her white Mitsubishi Lancer.

It turned from an ordinary B&E story to a T&A picturefest when Le Journal de Montreal news website used social media pictures of the suspect clad in a bikini.

Since then, more pictures of the accused have earned her the title of "hottest alleged thief on the planet".

The title is in keeping with the 2014 internet meme of hot felons.

Jeremy Meeks stole hearts in June when his mugshot went viral after his arrest on weapons charges and accused reckless driver Meagan Simmons was dubbed Miss Demeanor.

Stéphanie Beaudoin will appear in court on November 17.
