Three Convicted for Attempted Murder of £54m Securitas Robber

Louis Ahearne, Stewart Ahearne, and Daniel Kelly found guilty of plotting to kill Paul Allen, whose criminal history includes Britain’s largest cash robbery.

Paul Allen, a former cage fighter and participant in the £54 million Securitas robbery, was paralyzed in a 2019 shooting at his London home.
The defendants meticulously planned the attack, using surveillance and a tracker on Allen’s car, and fired six shots into his home, striking him in the neck.
DNA and ballistic evidence linked the defendants to the crime, including bullet casings matched to a Glock handgun found at Daniel Kelly's address.
The men were also involved in a 2019 burglary at a Swiss museum, stealing Ming dynasty antiques worth over £2.78 million and attempting to sell them in Hong Kong and London.
Extradited from Switzerland, the defendants were convicted at the Old Bailey and are awaiting sentencing on April 25, 2025.
