The jury in the case of a cage fighter alleged to have been involved in the UK's biggest cash robbery has begun a fifth day of deliberations.

Paul Allen, 30, is accused of involvement in the £53 million robbery at the Securitas depot in Tonbridge, Kent.

Depot manager Colin Dixon and his family were kidnapped and members of staff tied up during the raid in February 2006.

Jurors have been told that it was masterminded by Allen's best friend and fellow fighter Lee Murray, who is now in Morocco.

But father-of-three Allen, of Chatham, Kent, told the court that he knew nothing about it. He denies charges of conspiracy to kidnap, rob and possess firearms.

Hairdresser Michael Demetris, who unwittingly produced disguises for the robbers, was earlier cleared by the jury.
