"Abdishakur Osman previously pleaded guity to stealing items worth 11,753 from his employer on 15 June 2023. On Wednesday, Thames Magistrates' Court heard that Osman had been working as a security guard at Harrods Studio at the time of the theft. According to Harrods' website, Harrods Studio, in north London's Islington, creates images and descriptions for the luxury department store's online shop."
"Opening the facts of the case, prosecutor Ola Herbert said: Stock had gone missing in July 2023 that was returned by the defendant. That caused his employers to make further inquiries and they found in June 2023, after having carried out a stock check, they discover that over 11,000 of clothing had gone missing between June 14 2023 and June 15 2023. She said that on both occasions around 11,000 worth of clothing had been taken, but items stolen in the second theft had not been recovered."
A 22-year-old security guard, Abdishakur Osman, pleaded guilty to stealing items valued at 11,753 from Harrods on 15 June 2023. Osman worked at Harrods Studio in Islington, which prepares images and descriptions for the store's online shop. Stock checks found over 11,000 of clothing missing between 14 and 15 June 2023, and items from a later theft were not recovered. CCTV showed Osman browsing the stockroom, selecting items and placing them in bags before taking them outside. Stock returned in July prompted further inquiries. Defence called the theft spur-of-the-moment; the court found it financially motivated and noted Osman tried to hide goods from his mother, with a friend selling some items.
