A COURT hearing has been scheduled for a London man accused of having a false passport in connection with fraud.

Syed Islam, of Cowley Road, London, appeared at Oxford Magistrates’ Court on Tuesday (June 11) charged with one count of possession/control of article for use in fraud.

The 29-year-old was allegedly caught on September 26 last year in the Three Shop, a phone store, in the Westgate Centre in Oxford with a false passport.
