A pair of convicted thieves are back behind bars for lengthy terms after they admitted threatening to kill a woman. 

Adrian Robertson, 40, admitted to making threats to kill Jackie Rossiter and damaging her door at Edinburgh Court, Raynes Park, in June last year. 

His partner Rebecca Mills, 32, of Lincoln Walk, Epsom, also admitted the charges in a previous court hearing, as well as a charge of racial provocation to violence. 

Ms Rossiter lived below Ms Mill’s mother in Edinburgh Court who had been evicted due to problems with Ms Rossiter.

At Guildford Crown Court on Friday, Robertson, who used to live in Epsom, and now lives in Guildford, was sentenced to 18 months in prison, while Mills was handed 12 months.

At 10pm on June 23 last year, Ms Rossiter heard loud banging and music, opened her door and saw Mills and Robertson.   

She asked the pair to keep the noise down and they then started banging on her door and made the threats to kill her. 

They left when the police were called and were later arrested. 

The couple have previously served prison time for stealing an 81-year-old’s handbag while she took communion in Our Lady Immaculate church, in Ewell Road, Tolworth.

For this offence, Robertson was sentenced to five months in jail and Mill was handed eight weeks behind bars. 

In 2009, Robertson was jailed for two-and-a-half years for robbing a partially sighted musician in Epsom.
