‘Career criminal’ awaits judge’s verdict By MONIQUE TAMMINGA Aldergrove Star
A provincial judge will decide whether or not Langley resident Derek Allenby is guilty in connection with a violent home invasion that included a 56-year-old woman being hit, tied up and her home ransacked on June 27, 2013. Allenby’s trial ended on Sept. 29 in Surrey Provincial Court.

He was rearrested on May 30 for breaching his bail, but released again. In 2007, he was arrested in a high profile police chase caught on video. His arrest led to the seizure of numerous stolen vehicles and big construction equipment and containers on a Cloverdale property. At the time of his arrest in 2007, he had just been released from prison.
