Trelise Cooper burglary: Fashion thief and TV worker named Fri, 30 Jul 2021, 5:37PM
The thief who broke into fashion designer Dame Trelise Cooper and stole nearly a million dollars worth of high-end clothing can now be named.
Nicholas James Bush s interim name suppression expired at 5pm after the High Court confirmed he had not filed an appeal against the Auckland District Court s decision to end his anonymity.
The 42-year-old had earlier argued for secrecy because he claimed to be a well-known television industry worker. Online records purport to show Bush has worked as part of the crew for TV shows, including The X Factor NZ and Jono and Ben, in the past.

Epiha admits the murder of officer Matthew Hunt but denies a charge of attempted murder, in relation to officer David Goldfinch.
In the High Court at Auckland, Epiha is on trial alongside accused getaway driver Natalie Bracken.
He shot the two officers in Massey last June after fleeing a routine traffic stop and crashing into a parked car and a bystander.
The jury of 12 people retired to consider a verdict yesterday morning.
Justice Venning has now told the jury to try and reach a majority verdict - with at least 11 of them in agreement.
