Stakes the first class forger who loved craft
Mr Justice Stable described Stakes as a "first class" criminal with pride in forging savings stamps. The Bradford native, once a letter press printer, crafted near perfect forgeries, including a Post Office date stamp misread as Skipton, Yorks. Police found printing press and forged pages at his home and a Manchester shop. The judge condemned the ingenuity but stressed the crime was deliberate, funded by substantial capital and time.
