Rocquelle Skinner, 20, was on Wednesday placed on a 12-month CCO with orders to complete 150 hours of community work for her offending between January and July last year.

Appearing via video link, magistrate Michelle Hodgson told Skinner she was "generally shocked" by the brazen approach of Skinner and the co-accused when she first heard the summary in court on September 29.

She told Skinner the deferral of sentencing had allowed the court to gain an understanding of the accused's remorse which was noted by Skinner's defence lawyer in September.

Ms Hodgson said contradictory remarks were made in the various pre-sentence reports and ultimately, while there was promise shown in some areas, she didn't accept Skinner doesn't need further assistance. 

Placing Skinner on a CCO, Ms Hodgson also ordered the woman to undergo drug and alcohol treatment and warned her she faced a period of imprisonment if the CCO was breached.

"The ball is in your court Ms Skinner," she said.

In September the court heard Skinner - who pleaded guilty to more than 20 offences including the theft of six cars over a two-month period - and two co-accused stole a car from an Alfredton property in the early hours of June 25 after Skinner had taken the keys from the car while walking the street a few days earlier.

Police prosecutor Senior Constable Clint Prebble told the court later on the same day the accused and a co-accused drove to the Canadian State Forest where the co-accused doused the interior of another stolen car with petrol and set it on fire.

The following day Skinner attended a Sebastopol property where she stole keys from a parked car, returning two days later with a co-accused. In an attempt to reverse the car, Skinner crashed into another vehicle and fence before fleeing from the scene.

Senior Constable Prebble said Skinner, who was on bail at the time, was also seen on CCTV on July 8 in another stolen vehicle which was later found burnt out in the Canadian State Forest.

Arrested on July 9, he said Skinner was found in possession of a zip-lock bag of methamphetamine and a stolen credit card.

Skinner’s defence lawyer Andrew Madden said his client was remorseful of her actions.

Mr Madden told the court there was no excuse for his client’s behaviour but a background of grief, an escalating drug use and mixing with the wrong peers played a significant role in the offending. 

Making further submissions on Wednesday, he said since the offending Skinner had found paid employment and remained drug free - a "progress overwhelmingly positive".

Skinner was also fined $600 and her licence was suspended for six months.
