Yellowknife, N.W.T. - Sean Qitsualik, the man accused of stealing money from Willy's Convenience Store earlier this month, has pled guilty.

He was in territorial court yesterday on charges of theft under $5,000 and disobeying the court.

Qitsualik is being remanded in custody and will be sentenced for those crimes on Friday morning.

He will also be appearing in court on Friday to answer to robbery charges as he is one of the two men accused of holding up two cab drivers early last month.

Crown prosecutor Danielle Vaillaincourt said he's expected to ask for bail and a preliminary hearing on the case.
