A courier accused of robbing former England footballer Ashley Cole has claimed DNA linking him to the scene was found on items stolen from his van.
Kurtis Dilks is accused of being part of a gang that used a sledgehammer to smash into Mr Cole and Sharon Canu's home in Surrey on 21 January 2020.
Mr Dilks told a jury he was "most certainly not" involved in the robbery.
At Nottingham Crown Court, nine other men are also on trial over a series of "ruthlessly executed" burglaries.
The majority of the charges relate to the theft of the £3.
