"A maths teacher who was caught with hundreds of stolen bank card details has been barred from the classroom. Louis Ssekabira admitted he was planning to commit fraud after police raided his home in 2020 and found 262 sets of card details and 69 stolen online banking logins on his laptop, as well as more on two separate iPhones, a professional misconduct panel heard."
"Mr Ssekabira had been teaching at Droitwich Spa High School in Worcestershire at the time, but had moved to Bishop Challoner Catholic School in London by the time he was cautioned in 2021. A report of the misconduct hearing from the Teaching Regulation Agency (TRA) said the then-maths teacher accepted a police caution for an offence of possession of articles used to commit fraud, but did not tell the school."
