The four appeared before Westminster Magisyrates' Court on Saturday.

Among them was Constantin Ciprian Ciuraru, 30, (pictured above) of an unknown address, who was arrested in Kent.

He is wanted in Poland on a theft charge he has been convicted of.

Ciuraru was refused bail with a record of the court case saying this was because he is "likely to abscond" and due to the "nature and seriousness of offence, his lack of community ties in UK," and "the sentence to serve."
