Two men are on trial at Northampton Crown Court accused of aiding the theft of 1,440 PS3 consoles worth ?700,000 on May 15 2007. The men deny claims that they had a part in the robbery in which the consoles were loaded into a and lorry driven out of NYK Logistics in Grange Park. Security at the distributor has been called incredibly lax and it took 11 hours for someone to realize the consoles had been stolen.

He said: "It's clear the PlayStations were stolen and it's clear whoever stole them must have known how incredibly lax the security was in operation in that warehouse at the time.

"The allegations made against my client is that, because he was there, then he must be guilty.

"But it's clear other people had the opportunity to have taken these PlayStations and that must be a matter of relevance. It appears this theft was not noticed from 6am until 5pm.

"It's imperative the jury know what security was in place."

Stuart Yeung, prosecuting, told the jury Paloka was spotted acting suspiciously by one of his colleagues around the time of the theft.

"During his shift, she said he appeared jumpy, he received two separate phone calls before he started and dropped a pallet while working."

CCTV camera footage played to the jury showed an unmarked, 38-tonne articulated lorry, with two men in the cab, pulling up to the entrance gate at about 6am.

The occupants told the security officer they were from a firm called Trilogy and were collecting the PlayStation 3 consoles to deliver them to S~~~~horpe.

The footage went on to show a man loading 25 pallets into the trailer of an articulated lorry with a forklift truck. The lorry was then driven off the site.

The court heard how the employee who allowed the lorry to leave the site has since lost his job.

Zekaj, of Wake Way, Grange Park, Northampton, and Paloka, of Walthamstow, east London, both denied they were the people in the CCTV footage. The trial continues.
