Overseas University of Northampton student pleads guilty to stealing items from halls of residence flats
Nigerian man, 23, at risk of losing his student visa
An overseas student at the University of Northampton is at risk of losing his visa after admitting to stealing various items from halls of residence at a court hearing yesterday (Monday, August 23).
Bamidele Moshood pleaded guilty to stealing a TV, an Xbox console and controller, an Apple TV box, a handbag and a portable speaker from flats at the Waterside Campus.
The 23-year-old, who also lives at the Park Avenue apartments, is studying at the university on a student visa from Nigeria, Northampton Crown Court heard.
James Smith-Wilds, prosecuting, said there was no one present when the 'low-value' items were taken in June and July and most, if not all of them, have now been returned.
He added that no damage had been done to gain entry and there were no signs of ransacking.
Her Honour Judge Adrienne Lucking granted Moshood conditional bail ahead of his sentencing hearing at the same court on September 7.
