Soho Handbag Thief Jailed for 27 Months Over Fabergé Egg and Watch

Police are still searching for the missing Fabergé pieces.

Overview

  • Enzo Conticello, sentenced Thursday at Southwark Crown Court, received 27 months for stealing a Soho handbag that held a rare Fabergé egg and watch.
  • He pleaded guilty to theft and three counts of fraud after CCTV and rapid card use linked him to the crime.
  • The emerald green egg and a rose gold watch remain missing, and the Metropolitan Police have issued a public appeal for information.
  • Detectives located him after the PSNI detained him in Belfast in November 2025, where he used a false name and Irish ID.
  • Prosecutors said insurers paid £106,700 to the owner while similar seven‑piece Fabergé and whiskey sets have sold for $2 million to $3 million.
