Cash-in-transit robberies of Securicor vans totalling £1.3m in cash. The case involved 10 defendants in all and Shepherd was first on the indictment. It was alleged his role was that of the 'inside-man' as the van he was driving was robbed on two occasions. It was further alleged that he was complicit in the recruitment of other employees with the aim that they should also act as 'insiders'.R v Shepherd & Ors - [2007] Snaresbrook
