Two Redbridge residents accused of creating fake Covid vaccination records have been given a November date for their next hearing. 

Wayne Knight, 37, of Ilford, and Friha Farid, 28, of South Woodford, were charged with conspiracy to gain unauthorised access to computer material contrary to section one of the Criminal Attempts Act 1977

They were due to appear at Snaresbrook Crown Court on October 5, after deciding not to enter a plea at Barkingside Magistrates’ Court on September 7. 

However, the hearing was postponed, with both now to appear at Snaresbrook Crown Court on November 3. 

They remain on unconditional bail until that date. 

The charges came after an investigation by the Met’s cyber-crime team.
