Boston man stole gold jewelley from car being serviced in his brother's garage, court told

A Boston man stole gold jewellery of ‘extreme sentimental value’ from a car being serviced in his brother’s garage and sold it, a court has heard.

Ingus Zeijers, 27, of Paddock Grove, admitted theft when he appeared at Boston Magstrates Court.

Prosecuting, Jim Clare said Zeijers sold the jewellery to Boston shop Cash Generators for £225 on August 12, showing his passport as identification.

The jewellery was later identified by a Mr Melko as having been stolen from his car while it was being serviced at Zeijers’ brother’s garage.

Zeijers was arrested and admitted stealing the jewellery. Mr Clare said the jewellery was of ‘great sentimental value’ to Mr Melko as it had been a gift from his brother, who had since died.

Zeijers, who was not represented but has no previous convictions, told the magistrates he had nothing further to say.

He was fined £270, ordered to pay £225 compensation to Cash Generators and £85 in court costs.
