A 17-year-old youth charged with stealing a cashbox from a Wellington bus depot where a driver died has pleaded guilty to theft.
A 20-year-old man charged with the same offence signalled he would also plead guilty.
The pair made a brief appearance in Lower Hutt District Court today.
Name suppression was continued for both men.
They were remanded on bail until July so a restorative justice meeting with the family of bus driver Herman Curry could be arranged.
The 64-year-old died during a late shift on Friday April 27 and police initially believed he had suffered head injures as a result of being attacked.
He was found lying near his bus at the Waterloo bus interchange. His cashbox was missing.
It was later determined that he had died from a medical condition. It was believed he had a heart attack.
A group of youths handed themselves in to police on the following Sunday and two of them were charged with theft. Another two were dealt with by Youth Aid.
