Aisha was so angry to see her committing the same crime again. At least, she thought it was a crime.

Or

Aisha was so angry to see her committing the same crime again, at least she thought it was.

What I want to say in these sentences is that Aisha thought that what the girl was doing was a crime although it may not be in reality?

How should I write it?

To match 'thought' and 'was doing' and 'was', change the present 'may not be' to the past 'may not have been'.

Oof! You can't do this. It's a mistake called a "comma splice" — putting two complete sentences together with only a comma between them.

Also, Aisha was very angry. Or really angry. If you want 'so', you'll need a 'that' clause to go with it, e.g., She was so angry that she couldn't speak.

I can't tell you exactly what you should write, but I can tell you how I would write it so you can make a comparison and maybe come up with your own ideas of what you'd like to write.

Aisha was quite angry to see her committing the same crime again, if crime was what it was.
