Summary at a Glance

Russian spy found hiding in Great Yarmouth hotel 'boasted he was becoming James Bond character Q' A Russian spy hid away in a British seaside guesthouse which he crammed full of gadgets and secret recording devices, a court has heard.

The Old Bailey was told that a "vast" amount of technical equipment used for "intrusive surveillance" was discovered at Roussev's address in Great Yarmouth, which he described in messages as his "Indiana Jones warehouse."

It had 33 rooms, and inside three of them was a "significant amount of IT and surveillance equipment" stacked up in two storage rooms and an office used by Roussev, the prosecutor told the Old Bailey.

Among the thousands of items found by detectives included a black cap with a concealed camera, a 1 litre plastic Coke bottle with waterproof camera behind the label and a surveillance camera.

The jury was shown an "IMSI grabber" - a black metal box around the size of a large shoe box which can capture mobile phone numbers from a nearby area.
