England | London man convicted of possession of two forged SIA licences

June 6, 2025

Security Industry Authority | A man found in possession of two forged SIA licences has pleaded guilty to fraud and been ordered to pay £2,600 in fines and costs.

Charles Ibikunle pleaded guilty at Highbury Corner Magistrates’ Court to two counts of fraud under the Fraud Act 2006 in relation to a pair of forged SIA licences found in his possession.

The Metropolitan Police stopped Mr. Ibikunle while he was driving a vehicle, at which point they found the two licences which were later confirmed to be forged. The Metropolitan Police then referred this case to the SIA.

The SIA invited Mr. Ibikunle to attend an interview about the forged licences, which he declined to attend. This resulted in a court summons.

In response to his guilty plea, the court ordered Mr. Ibikunle to pay a fine of £1,000 for each offence, as well as a victim surcharge of £400 and prosecution costs of £200, totalling £2,600.
