The incident occurred five days ago on Runaway Beach when Brookes, 40, took two bags from a parked bus.
The victims, a tourist from the United States and a local tour guide, had left their belongings on the bus under the care of a tour company employee.
Brookes swiftly approached the bus, snatched the bags, and hastily fled in his car.
The stolen items, valued at $4,619 for the visitor and $1,960 for the local, included identification documents, bank cards, cell phones, cash, and other valuables.
Following his arrest, Brookes led the police to a location where he had discarded most of the stolen items, retaining only the cash.
Chief Magistrate Joanne Walsh ordered Brookes to pay $1,000 to the tourist and $500 to the tour guide.
Failure to comply by mid-September would result in a six-month jail sentence.
