Three men have pleaded guilty to their parts in a plot to spring a convict from a prison van which saw a man shot dead by police in north London.

The scheme aimed to help Izzet Eren escape while he was being transferred between jail and Wood Green Crown Court in December.

Police carried out an intelligence-led operation to foil the plot, during which Jermaine Baker, 28, from Tottenham in north London, was shot dead by an officer.

Eren, 32, Nathan Mason, 30, and Gokay Sogucakli, 18, all from Tottenham, admitted at Woolwich Crown Court to conspiring in the escape plot and conspiracy to carry an imitation firearm with criminal intent.

Two others, Ozcan Eren, 31, of Douglas Road, Wood Green, and Eren Hasyer, 25, of Kettering Road, Enfield, have pleaded not guilty to the same charges.

All five men who appeared in the dock were remanded in custody to appear again next month.

The Independent Police Complaints Commission investigation is ongoing into the shooting of Mr Baker.
