Spanish Town

Greg Nembhard will have to explain how he came into possession of several forged examination papers to mislead his employers that he had gone to the University of the West Indies.

Nembhard, employed to Super Plus food store in Spanish Town, St Catherine, as a purchaser, was arrested after his employers did a routine background check and discovered he had gone no further than the BB Coke High School in St Elizabeth.

He had presented certificates in physics, mathematics and chemistry, all at A'Levels, and general paper, with five Is and two IIs in CXC and also a double major with first-class honours in mathematics from the University of the West Indies.

Having been employed in November 2007, his tenure at the company ended last Wednesday when he was led away in handcuffs by Fraud Squad detectives.

He was charged with possession of and uttering forged documents and is to appear in the Corporate Area Resident Magistrate's Court tomorrow.

Nembhard is said to be of a Portmore address, but is originally from St Elizabeth.

Checks made with the Fraud Squad revealed that it is not an uncommon practice for persons seeking employment to present credentials that they have never owned, but once it is reported, they will be charged.
