Martin Fatunmbi, 47, has been sentenced to 12 months behind bars after being caught with false identity documents — including a fake passport and bank card. But there’s a twist: he skipped his court hearing and is now on the run.
Fake ID Used to Score a Vodafone Phone Contract
Fatunmbi was found guilty at Nottingham Crown Court of fraud by false representation. He used the bogus documents to try to set up a mobile phone contract with Vodafone. Despite his conviction, he didn’t bother turning up for sentencing on Thursday, 5 February.
