A man has been found guilty of burgling three wealthy homes, including that of Newcastle United striker Alexander Isak.
Valentino Nikolov, 32, was part of a professional gang of touring burglars which stole more than £1m worth of goods from three homes in the north-east of England, Newcastle Crown Court heard.
His sister, brother and nephew had previously admitted burgling the homes, with the gang to be sentenced at a future date.
A fifth man, 58-year-old Safet Ramic from Birmingham, was found not guilty of handling stolen goods.
Nikolov had represented himself during the trial with the aid of an Italian interpreter.
