He was employed by a security company working as a security guard at Harrods Studio. CCTV showed him browsing the stock room, placing items in bags, and taking them outside. Stock checks found over £11,000 of clothing missing between 14 and 15 June 2023; items from an earlier loss in July 2023 were partly returned.
