A person pleads guilty in a re -scheme

The man, who heard the court, was part of the crunchy trio of thieves, who sacrificed the same store in Orlia, pleaded guilty in theft of electronics from the home depot of the city.

Philip Katkovsky, speaking through a Polish translator, pleaded guilty to theft of less than $ 5,000, hindering a peacekeeper and charges of possession.

“Sorry, I won’t do it anymore,” Katkovsky said for the video, being in custody at the Central Correction Center (CNCC) in Penetangushchev.

Katkovsky was awarded a 75-day period, which with generous improvements, which almost doubled 36 days, which he was in custody, left him four more to serve.

The crown asked for 90 days.

The court heard that Katkovsky and two co -authors watched electronics clogging inside their winter jackets on February 19 at the Monarch Drive store in Orlia.

After leaving, without paying the items, they fled the scene, confronted with the guardian of the store who pursued men in their own vehicle south on highway 11 to Barry.

This guard directed the APP to men, and they were arrested, but only after Katkovsky resisted and gave a false name, the court heard.

“There was a significant struggle,” said the lawyer Crown Kate Wright.

“Officers needed considerable force” to bring Katkowski, she added, including one OPP officer was under a car for escape, since the other two accused were still inside him.

The case is interesting for several reasons that exceeds a straight -line resolution that has reached Thursday in the Barry Court Hall.

First, at the time of the arrest of the OPP trio, the news release, which said in detail that theft would be much more and 10 times more than the amount of Katkovsky pleaded.

Moreover, the APP supplied the images of the seized goods that clearly show the total value much more than quoted in the guilty of Katkovsky.

The amount of theft was applied evenly to all three accused, leaving the Kviatkovsky restitution order about $ 1060.

Katkovsky also was assigned a relatively easy sentence for pleading guilt at the beginning of the trial and because he had no criminal record. Such resolutions are widespread, but the court also heard the evidence that the safety of home depots was aware of men and had internal communications “to be inspected” as they stole from the store during previous visits.

Katkovsky was finally identified through fingerprints that, according to OPP, came from the Canadian Border Agency.

Its co-author, Roman Katkovsky and Sylvester Kivinsky, came out for liberation on similar charges of Montreal, Toronto and Halton Region during Oilly’s incident.

Police forces across Ontario faced with increasing the occurrence of gangs -bands of thieves aimed at large shops such as Home Depot.

The stolen goods are often stored and later sold on the Internet by non -suspicious customers who do not know that the items are hot.

Katkovsky’s immigration status was not mentioned in the court, although it was obvious that he was relatively new in the country. Through his lawyer, Peter Chmel Katkovsky said he wanted to contact his family and “Polish doctors” again to seek depression treatment after being released.

The court was not confirmed if Roman and Philip Katkovsky were linked.
