Their victim Paul Allen has been left paralysed for life

Three men who plotted to kill a cagefighter who was involved in the Securitas robbery have been jailed. Brothers Louis Ahearne, 36, and Stewart Ahearne, 46, and their co-conspirator Daniel Kelly, 46, travelled to Paul Allen’s home in Woodford Green and fired shots through a window, leaving him paralysed for life. During the trial, prosecutors alleged the background to the shooting was that Allen was a “sophisticated” career criminal, who had been jailed in 2009 for his role in Britain’s biggest armed robbery .

He was released in 2019 for his part in the heist at Securitas in Kent , in which £54m in cash was stolen, much of which has never been recovered. More follows on this breaking news story.
