Two Ipswich men have admitted stealing 20 air fryers to the value of £5,000 from parcel delivery firm Evri.

Vasile Danila, 28, and Robert Baiculescu, 30, were both charged with theft by employee relating to the taking of Ninja-branded air fryers in Bury St Edmunds on July 8 this year.

They appeared before Suffolk Magistrates' Court in Ipswich, where they both pleaded guilty to the charge, a court document said.

The court listing said the air fryers, worth £5,000 in total, were in the possession of Evri, the parcel delivery company that was formerly known as Hermes before a rebrand, in the west Suffolk town when they were taken.

Danila, who is of Anglesea Road, and Baiculescu, who is of Fountains Road, were bailed after they pleaded guilty to the charges.

The pair are due to appear before magistrates at the court again on Wednesday, November 20 for sentencing.

A pre-sentence report is being prepared ahead of the defendants' next hearing at court.
