A man has admitted stealing a handbag containing a Faberg\u00e9 egg and watch thought to be worth more than \u00a32m.<\/b><\/p>\n

Enzo Conticello, 29, of no fixed address, stole from the victim in Soho, central London, on 7 November 2024, Southwark Crown Court heard.<\/p>\n

The handbag also contained a laptop and credit cards, which Conticello subsequently used to purchase cigarettes and other goods at supermarkets in the Soho area. The court heard the Faberg\u00e9 egg had not been located.<\/p>\n

Conticello admitted theft and three charges of fraud by misrepresentation. He was remanded into custody to next appear at the same court on 6 March.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Faberg\u00e9 is a world-renowned jeweller founded in Russia more than two centuries ago, famous for its eggs made of gems and precious metals.<\/p>\n

Addressing Conticello, also known as Hakin Boudjenoune, after he pleaded guilty, Judge Martin Griffiths said: “I expect it was probably quite a surprise to you when you discovered that egg.<\/p>\n

“What you did with it, I don’t quite know, but I expect we’re going to find out.”<\/p>\n
