A man charged in connection with the theft of more than $300,000 worth of Prada merchandise a year ago yesterday pleaded guilty to burglary and theft charges.

Tracey F.W. Coryell Sr., 41, entered the plea before Circuit Judge Steven Alm, who will sentence him in June after completion of a court-ordered drug treatment program.

Coryell faces 10-year and five-year maximum prison sentences, although city prosecutors "will file a motion for extended sentencing" of Coryell because he is a persistent, multiple criminal offender, according to James Fulton, executive assistant to City Prosecutor Peter Carlisle.

Coryell has 30 criminal convictions, including two each for burglary and felony theft. When he was arrested in January in the Prada case, Coryell was serving five years probation after being convicted of car theft in February 2005.

The Prada goods were taken from a Kaka'ako warehouse in December 2006.

The theft was discovered by store employees early on the morning after Christmas as they prepared to move merchandise to department stores in anticipation of after-Christmas sales.

Taken were shoes, wallets, ready-to-wear clothes and other items after the building's alarm system was disabled — its cables were cut — and surveillance cameras misdirected, police said at the time.
