Model who was blasted for acting like a 'bored princess' in court when she avoided prison on meth charges is spared jail AGAIN over burglary spree
A Lithuanian model has avoided jail again, this time for a string of burglaries, just one year after she was blasted by a judge for acting like a 'bored princess'.
Jonita Ragaisyte, 29, pleaded guilty to 12 charges including trespassing, stealing bank cards and dishonestly obtaining property in Melbourne Magistrates Court on Tuesday.
Ragaisyte visited her rented storage unit at Port Melbourne Storage on Lorimer Street along with three unknown men at 1.50am on February 16.

CCTV footage caught the group going in and out of the storage space for two hours, the Herald Sun reported.
Throughout the night they got into the office of a used car dealership at the same facility and allegedly stole credit cards and car keys, according to police.
The group left just after 4am in a car that was stolen from Joe Vella Used Cars.
Ragaisyte then used the stolen cards to purchase a phone, credit, cigarettes, a lighter and toiletries at Coles in Port Melbourne.
She then drove around St Kilda and used the cards on a shopping spree.
After that she got a room at the Aura Apartment on the seventh floor where detectives later found she had broken into another room while guests were out.

The hotel guests later came back to find their door still locked but a Nike backpack, clothing and toiletries were missing.
Police say the only way into the room would have been through the balcony.
Ragaisyte pleaded guilty to the high-rise hotel robbery in June 2019 and her co-accused was also charged but is yet to face court.
Magistrate Hayley Bate told Ragaisyte's lawyer in court that she had been 'assessed at a high risk of re-offending'.
Ragaisyte was handed a 12-month community corrections order and will have to complete 100 hours of community work.
She will also undergo ongoing drug, alcohol and mental health tests.

In September last year Ragaisyte avoided jail after she admitted to possessing meth, and was given only a two-year good behaviour bond.
She admitted possessing GHB-alternative butanediol as well as n-ethylhexedrone, a drug similar to methamphetamine.
Police found an 'Aladdin's cave' of drugs at the Docklands apartment the 27-year-old shared with her then-boyfriend Cemre Volkan in 2017.
The 27-year-old was also caught with meth she forgot was in her Chanel handbag while visiting her bodybuilder-turned-drug trafficker partner in prison.
