Serial fraudster sentenced to two years in prison after breaching Serious Crime Prevention Order

A man with a long history of fraud offences has been sentenced to two years in prison after pleading guilty to fraud by false representation and breaching a Serious Crime Prevention Order (SCPO).

Dominic Williams, also known as Ayodele Oladuti, 38, of Wrotham Road, Gravesend was sentenced at Inner London Crown Court following an investigation led by the City of London Police’s Insurance Fraud Enforcement Department (IFED).

Williams attempted to claim on his travel insurance after reporting a theft at a licensed premises in Brick Lane, East London. He told insurers that his bag had been stolen while celebrating a friend’s birthday. The items he claimed were taken included a Goyard Jouvance bag valued at £1,450, a Louis Vuitton wallet worth £305, VW car keys, £40 in cash, a driving licence, and event tickets. To support his claim, Williams submitted falsified documents, including a fabricated hotel booking confirmation and altered bank statements.

Detective Constable Daniel Weller, from the City of London Police’s Insurance Fraud Enforcement Department (IFED), said:

"Williams attempted to exploit a genuine theft by fabricating documents to secure an insurance payout. His actions show a clear disregard for the conditions of his Serious Crime Prevention Order and highlight his continued pattern of fraudulent behaviour. This case demonstrates our determination to pursue repeat offenders and ensure they face justice."

Carl Mather, Special Investigations Unit Manager, Aviva, said:

 “Following his conviction for a string of insurance frauds, Dominic Williams was made subject to a two‑year Serious Crime Prevention Order (SCPO). However, in May 2025 he went on to breach the Order and submit another false travel insurance claim to our partner, Charles Taylor Assistance.

“What many may not realise, and what Williams must now come to terms with, is that an SCPO imposes robust safeguards which are designed to deter and prevent further offending. Any breach of its restrictions is punishable by up to five years’ imprisonment and an unlimited fine - in addition to triggering any suspended sentence which may exist.

“These measures are intentionally robust, and are a powerful deterrent to others who might consider defrauding insurers and their customers.

“Aviva remains steadfast in tackling insurance fraud head‑on, protecting honest customers and supporting law enforcement to ensure that repeat offenders face firm and proportionate consequences for their actions.”

The offences also represented clear breaches of his SCPO, which required him to disclose all insurance policies and any claims to his dedicated offender manager. Williams failed to declare his travel insurance policy and did not notify the City of London Police Lifetime Offender Management Unit of the claim he submitted. He also failed to disclose a formal change of name, further breaching the order.

Williams has a long history of fraud offences, including tenancy fraud, cheque fraud, credit card cloning, and multiple insurance frauds. In February 2025, he was sentenced to two years’ imprisonment, suspended for 18 months, for 16 counts of insurance fraud against Aviva. Those offences involved fraudulent claims for cancelled holidays and lost possessions during the pandemic, supported by fabricated documents. He received £61,380.16 as a result of those claims.

During sentencing, he received eight months for two SCPO offences (16 months in total), to be served concurrently, a further eight months for fraud by false representation to be served consecutively, and an additional eight months for breaching a suspended sentence, also to be served consecutively, resulting in a total sentence of 24 months’ imprisonment.
