Neighbour Breaks into Woman’s Bedroom While She Sleeps
Phillip Robinson, 40, has been locked up for breaking into a woman’s bedroom as she slept. On June 11, Robinson climbed through an unlocked window on Coronation Avenue, shocking the victim awake.
Terrified Woman Spots Intruder at Foot of Bed
The woman woke to see a man standing at her bed’s foot. The TV’s glow revealed it was her neighbour, Robinson. She screamed at him to leave, waking other family members who forced him out. Robinson repeatedly apologised before the police arrived.
Months of Stalking Escalate to Break-In
- Police found Robinson had stalked the victim for months.
- He regularly sat on his mobility scooter outside her home, trying to talk to her — she avoided him.
- He began loitering near her garden, parking his scooter facing her house for 15 minutes at a time, making her feel scared and intimidated.
Robinson Arrested, Bail Conditions Ignored
Arrested on June 12 for stalking, Robinson was bailed with orders to stay away from Coronation Avenue and the victim. But he repeatedly broke these rules, even attempting to cross the road near her home, leading to his re-arrest.
During questioning, Robinson bizarrely claimed the victim flirted with him, citing her shorts and brief chats. He initially lied about receiving a text inviting him into her bedroom, then admitted no such message existed.
Jailed for Two Years Over Stalking and Break-In
On December 6, Robinson pleaded guilty at Peterborough Crown Court to stalking causing serious harm and distress. He was sentenced to two years and three months behind bars for his vile crimes.
DC Alan Tregilgas slammed Robinson’s “frightening” conduct. He praised the victim’s bravery in coming forward and hoped the sentence would help her find closure.
