On 11 March he was sentenced to six years in prison.<\/p>\n<p>His is the fifth conviction linked to the forgery gang, with jail sentences totalling more than 27 years having been handed out.<\/p>\n<p>NCA branch commander, Mark McCormack, said: \u201cThis sentencing is the culmination of an investigation that has dismantled a whole <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/hr-skills-news\/construction-skill-card-fraudster-jailed\/48401\/\">supply chain for false identity documents<\/a>, from the street-level dealer, the middle-market distributors, all the way to the actual forger.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFalse identity documents are a key enabler of criminality and affect the economic wellbeing of the United Kingdom.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The type of things produced by this network could be used for money laundering or to help people gain work or access services in the UK illegally, but may also lead to dangerous consequences, especially if people claim they are qualified workers in construction or transport when they are not.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are determined to target the organised criminal networks involved in the creation and distribution of false documents, to make it harder for criminals to ply their trade and help to safeguard the public.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"mk-custom-module-container\">\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A fifth member of a forgery gang responsible for making and supplying 300 forged Construction Skills Certificate Scheme (CSCS) cards has been jailed for six years.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":16,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[285],"tags":[676,592],"stakeholder_rel_tag":[],"contributor_rel_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-54054","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-hr-skills-news","7":"tag-construction","8":"tag-skills"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.9 (Yoast SEO v26.9) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Man jailed for six years for supplying 300 forged CSCS cards<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"A fifth member of a forgery gang responsible for making and supplying 300 forged Construction Skills Certificate Scheme (CSCS) cards has been jailed\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/hr-skills-news\/man-jailed-forged-cscs-cards\/54054\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Man jailed for six years for supplying 300 forged CSCS cards\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"A fifth member of a forgery gang responsible for making and supplying 300 forged Construction Skills Certificate Scheme (CSCS) cards has been jailed for six years\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/hr-skills-news\/man-jailed-forged-cscs-cards\/54054\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Planning, Building &amp;

We\u2019re sure she\u2019d like that. With a BA in English and Journalism, Steph isn\u2019t fazed by attention to detail; on the contrary, she enjoys getting her teeth into a good article. In her downtime Steph loves nothing more than getting together with friends to enjoy a few (several) gin and tonics. Think you\u2019ve got some content Steph would be interested in?
