A woman has been remanded in custody until next month after being charged with more than 100 offences following an alleged crime spree across the western suburbs.

Bronwyn Holland, 25, of Werribee, has been charged with 128 offences including robbery, theft of motor vehicle, theft from motor vehicle, and dangerous driving.

Police have not revealed when the offences took place.

Ms Holland was scheduled to face Sunshine Magistrates Court on Monday, but did not appear for the short hearing.

Her lawyer asked for the case to be adjourned until March 4 and did not make an application for Ms Holland to be released on bail. The court heard that Ms Holland was withdrawing from drugs.

She was arrested by police at a house in Werribee on Sunday. Police say the offences took place in Laverton North, Altona North, Altona Meadows, Werribee, Hoppers Crossing, Caroline Springs, Rockbank and Taylors Lakes.
