PALACE THIEF NABBED!

-

Adamo Canto was jailed for eight months in January after stealing what police called a “significan­t quantity” of items from Buckingham Palace, where he worked as a catering assistant. During the court case it was revealed Canto took 77 items from the palace shops, staff lockers and a royal storeroom. They included signed photos of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, medals and a bespoke Samsung phone manufactur­ed for Prince Andrew. The items were then sold on ebay.

The 37-year-old’s defence for stealing was that he’d got into debt because his palace pay was “minimal” and he couldn’t sustain the lifestyle he wanted.
