Court convicted security guard of theft using false keys, rejecting defense of authorized access.

The court acquitted the defendant of one charge but convicted him of theft involving multiple people and the use of false keys to enter Sotheby's. Although the defense argued the defendant, a security guard, used authorized tags for legitimate purposes, the court found he misused them for theft and entered restricted areas improperly. Consequently, the defendant was sentenced to 24 months imprisonment with an 8-month suspended portion.
