A former employee of the John Lewis Partnership has admitted plotting to steal more than £200,000 of electrical goods.
Marcin Bakowski, aged 29, of North Holme Court, Thorplands, Northampton, pleaded guilty to conspiracy to burgle the Brackmills depot in October last year.
He appeared at Northampton Crown Court with five other men accused of involvement in conspiracy. Bakowski also pleaded guilty to five charges relating to the theft of a digital camera, camcorder, Macbook computers and converting criminal property.
Piotr Kozlowski, aged 31, of St James, Northampton, also pleaded guilty to the conspiracy charge and will be sentenced with Bakowski at the conclusion of their co-defendants’ trial.
Lukasz Srodecki, 32, Kryzstof Bogszewski, 33, and 25-year-old Przemslaw Chyla, all of Northampton, pleaded not guilty to involvement in the conspiracy and will stand trial next year, along with Vitalijs Razadovskis, 25, who denies possessing the money obtained by selling the stolen goods.
However, Razadovskis did admit handling stolen iPads taken during the break-in. It is alleged the defendants used insider knowledge to steal iPads and computers worth £220,000, some of which were sold via a shop in Coventry, on the Gumtree website. All but Bakowski were bailed.
