A man has pleaded guilty to the burglary of a studio belonging to artist Damien Hirst.
Liam Middleton-Gomm, 36, broke into Thames Wharf Studios in west London on 30 June and stole about £5,000 worth of goods – some of which were later found at his father Leslie Gomm’s home.
The 62-year-old previously admitted handling stolen goods for his son.
Hirst’s best-known artwork includes a pickled shark, a rotting cow’s head and diamond-encrusted skull.
Only about £500 worth of goods were recovered.
The defendants, who appeared in the dock together at Kingston Crown Court, will be sentenced at a hearing at the same court on 30 October.
Middleton-Gomm also pleaded guilty on Friday to the burglary of homes on 9 July and 17 July, as well as the attempted burglary of another property.
