The pair unloaded almost all of the suitcases and left them in the storage room before dropping them at the Cordis Hotel. Six days later, police searched a room at the Avani Metropolis Hotel where the couple were staying and found 16 stolen Trelise Cooper branded items of clothing. In sentencing Bush, the court heard how the break-in has had a lasting effect and “huge reputational damage” for Cooper.
