Magistrates suspended the sentence without requirements to allow her “the opportunity to work with the probation service and a team of agencies for her rehabilitation”.
The teenager has to pay both victims £100 each in compensation.
She also admitted being in breach of a restraining order in Newport between February 13 and February 16 in an unrelated case for which there was no separate penalty.
