GUILTY

Plot to kill £54m Securitas raider

- BY TOM PETTIFOR

THREE criminals have been found guilty of attempting to murder a former cage fighter who was jailed for Britain's biggest cash robbery.

In July 2019, Paul Allen, then 41, was paralysed in the shooting in a house he had rented from comedian Russell Kane.

He was previously convicted over the £54million raid of a Securitas warehouse in 2006. Much of the cash is still missing.

Yesterday, Louis Ahearne, 36, his brother Stewart Ahearne, 46, and Daniel Kelly, 46, were found guilty of plotting to murder Allen with others unknown.

Det Supt Matt Webb said: “This attack may look like the plot to a Hollywood blockbuster but the reality is quite different. This was horrific criminality.”
