An iPad found covered with sand and rocks on the banks of the Thames River in London helped solve a film crime in which a shooting, a millionaire robbery, the subtraction of a Chinese vase in Switzer and three involved, as published on Tuesday, the BBC converge.
The iPad, found in November by a police officer with a metal detector next to the O2 Arena, east of the British capital, allowed to unleashed an investigation that lasted six years and ended with the guilty statement of three accused of the attempt to murder of a well -known British thief.
Louis Ahearne, Stewart Ahearne and Daniel Kelly planned to take his life in 2019 to Paul Allen, a convicted thief who spent 18 years in prison for the theft of 54 million pounds (64 million euros) that were never recovered from a cash deposit in which he is still considered the largest robbery by armed hand in the history of the United Kingdom.
The brothers Ahearne and Kelly tried to kill Allen, who lived at that time of rent with their wife and three children in a house in Woodford, east of London, owned by the English comedian Russell Kane, although they only managed to leave him without mobility from the chest down.

The defendants also participated in the theft of a Chinese vase from the Ming dynasty of the 14th century of the Museum of Art of the East of Geneva (Switzerland), which is why they were imprisoned in the Alpine country, which later extradited them to the United Kingdom.
In the analysis of the iPad – found after Louis Ahearne acknowledged that they had made a stop on their journey after fleeing the shooting place – call records were found between Kelly and the Ahearne brothers and GPS data that located them in Allen’s house.
There were also purchasing records on Amazon and eBay of unregistered disposable phones to communicate and it was discovered that the SIM card of the device was active until shortly before the shooting.
The three defendants were convicted on Monday by an Old Bailey court and the sentence will be known on April 25.
