A man has admitted to conspiring to steal a number of luxury vehicles, including a £70,000 Range Rover from a TV presenter Declan Donnelly.

Oliver Hart, 30, appeared before Kingston-upon-Thames Crown Court Friday where he admitted to conspiracy to steal in connection with an alleged car theft that took place between January and July last year.

He also pleaded guilty to conspiracy to break into 11 electric bicycles from Velospeed, in Thatcham, Berkshire, between June 14 and June 17, 2021.

Hart appeared in the southwest London along with several co-defendants, who spoke only to confirm his name and enter IOUs.

He is one of a number of defendants who have pleaded guilty to charges related to the alleged car theft.

Other defendants, including Ryan Crafts, 29, of Wokingham, Berkshire, and Charlie Kavanagh, 27, of Ashford, Surrey, have pleaded not guilty.

Judge Anne Brown named their trial date for September 4, 2023.

Those who have pleaded guilty, including Hart, are expected to be sentenced after the trial is completed, the court heard.

Police were called to the December home in West London in the early hours of April 6, 2021.
