Met on Fabergé egg hunt after items worth £2m poached from Soho pub

Enzo Conticello admits theft as judge says I expect we're going to find out' what he did with egg and luxury watch

Metropolitan police officers are still trying to recover an unusual pickpocketing haul after a Faberge egg and watch worth 2m were stolen at a pub in Soho in London.

Enzo Conticello stole the treasures from Rosie Dawson, the director of premium brands at the Craft Irish Whiskey Company, in a West End pub in November 2024, alongside some more conventional loot contained in the handbag he swiped, including her laptop and credit cards. Met detectives arrested him in Belfast on 26 January.
