On 11 September 2023, a man who had never held a genuine SIA licence was sentenced for offences relating to fraud by false representation, using a false instrument and possessing a false identity document when attempting to work as a licensed operative last summer at two separate events.

Adewale Balogun was sentenced at Bolton Crown Court where he received six-months imprisonment for using a false instrument, three months imprisonment for possession of a false identity document and three months imprisonment for fraud by false representation. The sentences were to run concurrently which were suspended for a period of 18 months, with a requirement of 150 hours of unpaid work to be undertaken. The court also ordered Balogun to pay prosecution costs of £500. He now holds a criminal record.
