Security Industry Authority | A man has been convicted of fraud after SIA investigators found him working as a door supervisor with a cloned licence.
Adedoyin Ajanaku pleaded guilty to an offence under Section 2 and an offence under Section 6 of the Fraud Act 2006 at Bromley Magistrates Court. He was ordered to pay a fine of £80, a victim surcharge of £32, and prosecution costs of £350, totalling £462.
Mr. Ajanaku was discovered working as a door supervisor by SIA investigation officers during a routine inspection at a venue in Islington, presenting what appeared to be an SIA licence card.
During the inspection, the officers were able to establish that although the photograph on the card was a good likeness for Mr. Ajanaku, it did not match the image held by the SIA. Furthermore, the licence number had been cancelled some months earlier after being reported lost.
Mr. Ajanaku used the details from a family member’s licence card to create a counterfeit with his own likeness. He did not engage with the SIA during the investigation and was then summonsed to appear at Bromley Magistrates’ Court as a result.
