Stolen goods worth tens of thousands sold on eBay, court told | This ...

A BUSINESSMAN has appeared in the dock accused of selling hordes of stolen goods on an online auction website.

Steven Miller allegedly flogged everything from Christmas trees and sheds to car parts and powertools on eBay.

  1. Plymouth Magistrates Court

The 36-year-old faced Plymouth magistrates accused of burgling a business unit and swiping surf and sports equipment worth more than ?30,000.

He is also accused of stealing a high-performance BMW M3 Coup? car worth ?11,500.

Miller, of Melrose Avenue, in Pennycross, denied all six charges when he first appeared at the court last month.

He pleaded not guilty to four counts of concealing, disguising, converting, transferring or removing criminal property.

One charge specifies 72 items of building and home improvement equipment allegedly sold on eBay under the username V6sam between November 2009 and October this year.

Items are said to have included drills, locks, alarms, fibre-optic trees, dimmer sets, lights and hobs.

Another count lists 66 items sold under the username Seadoosamy2011 between April last year and October this year.

Those items allegedly included telephones, showers, electric fires, tools, four sheds and ten Christmas trees with 20 stands.

A third charge lists 11 items placed on eBay under the username Ribbs1997 between January and October this year.

They include BMW car parts, electric showers and a chainsaw.

A further charge relating to the same username accuses Miller of concealing, disguising, converting, transferring or removing criminal property, namely an electric shower, between July and October this year.

Miller has also pleaded not guilty to burgling Exmouth watersports shop Liquid Motion on May 10 this year.

He allegedly stole wetsuits, surfboards, surfing equipment, surfwear and skateboards worth ?32,800.

Miller is finally charged with stealing the ?11,500 BMW M3 coup? from a man in Churston Ferrers, Torbay, on September 9 last year.

A previous court hearing was told how Miller was self-employed and had been running a sealant business over the last decade.

Appearing in the dock in a purple T-shirt, Miller was remanded in custody until his next appearance.

He will go before magistrates via videolink on Friday, November 23.
