A violent British career criminal is believed to be behind a series of million-pound art heists across Europe. Police found a book with information on Chinese objects held in European museums when they stormed properties linked with Kelly. A number of foreign holidays the 46-year-old embarked on coincided with burglaries at art galleries, museums and jewellers. Prosecutors are hoping to link him to a series of heists across Europe. On Monday, the trio were found guilty of conspiracy to murder Paul Allen, who was convicted of a £54m cash robbery from a Securitas warehouse in Kent - the biggest in British history.
