A 19-year-old Chilean woman remains behind bars after she was accused of sending $75,000 worth of stolen luxury items overseas.

NSW detectives investigating an alleged organised theft syndicate charged Anastassia Saavedra Urzua with two counts of knowingly dealing with the proceeds of crime on Thursday after she was extradited from Victoria.

Police say the charges follow months of investigation into 80 aggravated break-ins across Sydney from September to November 2018.

Urzua is one of eight alleged members of the syndicate who are all Chilean nationals. They were arrested late last year.

She didn't apply for bail during a mention at Central Local Court in Sydney on Friday and it was formally refused by magistrate Robert Williams.

The matter is due back in the same court in early March when Urzua is scheduled to appear via video link.
