Two men who went on a two-day burglary spree across Chessington and Epsom have been jailed.

Johnny Berry, 27, of Merlin Crescent, Edgware was sentenced to a total of seven years and two months at Kingston Crown Court on Friday, June 22 after previously pleading guilty to 15 separate counts. He was given a further three-year extended licence.

His accomplice, 28-year-old Jason Smith, 28 of no fixed address was sentenced to a total of eight years in jail after being found guilty to 14 counts, following an eight-day trial at Kingston Crown Court.

He was given a further three-year extended licence, nine points on his driving licence and banned from driving for two years and can re-apply upon release.

Among the string of offences includes one instance where the pair dragged an 84-year-old woman with dementia around her Chessington home while they stole watches and around £300 in cash.

Since the attack, her health has declined and she is no longer able to live independently.

An incident in Ewell included the duo spraying a pregnant woman in the face with a corrosive substance.

The victim suffered minor irritation and has since made a full recovery. Nothing was stolen from the property.

Investigating officer, Detective Constable Leo Farnon, said: "This conviction was made possible following the great work of the officers that responded to the emergency call on May 5, last year.

"Officers stopped the vehicle involved and apprehended Johnny Berry. This arrest revealed vital evidence that lead to the arrest of Jason Smith, who was spotted by switched-on officers in Harrow.

"These men committed terrifying crimes, with no regard of how their actions would go on to distress the victims that night and continue to have an affect nearly a year later.

"I want to thank the victims and their family for showing bravery, supporting the investigation and attending court. I hope this conviction goes someway to providing closure to the victims and their families."

In total, five of the attacks or attempted attacks took place in Chessington between May 4 and 5, two in Epsom and a further two in Hertfordshire.

At sentencing, the judge said: ""You were not afraid to intimidate, threaten and injure…I am satisfied that you targeted [the victim], seeing an 80 year-old woman returning home in the dark.

"She was extremely vulnerable and you behaved appallingly.

"I have heard the effects on your victim.

"You gave not the slightest thought to the effect that you had on your victims."
