On Tuesday 26 September 2023, Stephen Simmonds from Ballymena was prosecuted at Laganside Magistrates’ Court.
He pleaded guilty to supplying illegal security to Belfast venues as well as failing to inform the Security Industry Authority (SIA) of his change of address.
The court fined Simmonds £700 and ordered him to pay £100 court costs and £135 prosecutions costs. The prosecution was brought by the SIA. This prosecution relates to two recent SIA prosecutions of Alan Agnew and Ryan Wilkinson. The cases began when the SIA’s investigators and officers from the Police Service of Northern Ireland carried out two planned inspections of venues in Belfast’s night-time economy on 28 September 2022 and 03 October 2022.
