Former Couple Busted for Daylight Burglaries Across Edenbridge
A pair who robbed several homes in broad daylight have finally been nailed. Chelsea O’Neill and Stevie White hit three Edenbridge houses on 12 June 2025, cruising around in a rented red Vauxhall Corsa with a black roof.
They didn’t stop there – a fourth property in Harts Lane, Godstone, Surrey, was also targeted around the same time.
Homes Ransacked, Valuables Stolen
All the properties were empty when the duo struck. They forced open back doors, windows, and front doors to get inside.
- Jewellery
- Watches
- Commemorative coins
- Sunglasses
- Bank cards
Every house was thoroughly searched, with valuables swiped and chaos left behind.
Evidence Piles Up: CCTV and Cell Data Seal Their Fate
The police got hold of CCTV footage showing White at two of the crime scenes. Witnesses spotted the distinct red Corsa nearby, matching the timeline perfectly.
Cell phone data also placed both O’Neill and White at the exact locations during the burglaries.
Quick Arrest and Heavy Sentences
Just a day later on 13 June, police stopped the Corsa in Dartford with both suspects inside. They were swiftly arrested, and several stolen items were recovered from the car, alongside £1,000 in cash and pawnbroker slips.
A subsequent search of O’Neill’s home uncovered more stolen goods.
White, 42, from Colchester, and O’Neill, 42, from Chislehurst, were slapped with four burglary charges each.
At Maidstone Crown Court, both pleaded guilty. White copped five years and seven months in jail on 10 February 2026, including additional Essex offences. O’Neill got a 12-month sentence suspended for 18 months on 5 February.
PC Holly Turner said: “White and O’Neill deliberately targeted multiple homes in kent/" title="Kent" data-wpil-keyword-link="linked">Kent and Surrey, thinking they could get away with it. But they hadn’t planned their escape well.”
“Our officers worked fast, catching them with stolen goods the very next day. These break-ins left victims feeling scared and violated, but we’ve recovered some of their treasured items. I hope this brings them some comfort.”
