Former cage fighter convicted for his role in the 2006 Securitas cash-depot robbery and later the target of a 2019 murder plot that left him paralysed.
Editorial standard
Convictions, charges, acquittals, allegations and contextual links are kept distinct. Relationship labels state the legal or factual basis of the connection.
Background
Allen was a longstanding friend and associate of Lee Murray.
Role in the case
He admitted conspiracy offences connected to the Securitas robbery after his extradition from Morocco.
Evidence / operation
In 2009 he was sentenced to eighteen years for his part in the £53 million heist.
Legal outcome
In 2019 Allen was shot at his home in Woodford and left paralysed. Louis and Stewart Ahearne and Daniel Kelly were later convicted of conspiring to murder him.
Graph role
His profile therefore bridges the original Securitas robbery to a much later organized-crime murder plot.
