Man who filmed £3.5m Portland Tiara says he was testing his camera, not planning a heist
The 36-year-old, formerly of Carlton, Nottinghamshire, told the jury he visited Welbeck because he "liked exploring new places" and filmed the gallery as he wanted to try out the GoPro.Previously, the court heard how Mr Cumberpatch's ex-partner said on the recording: "I'm going to look round at the sheep in a minute, so it looks like I'm filming everything.
Asked by the defence how he found out about the theft, he responded: "I read about it in the newspaper. I wouldn't say I was very interested in it but [Welbeck Estate] is somewhere I'd visited before and the story was on the front page." He told the jury that they were "people I ring every day" and the correspondences "could have been about anything".
Mr Stokes denied knowing about the crime until he was arrested and told jurors that he would regularly speak to both men to casually chat about "lad stuff".The trial has heard evidence relating to "various serious and high-profile" crimes with numerous defendants.
