A Dartford woman was arrested for fraudulently taking UK citizenship tests using disguises and fake ID.
The woman is 42 years old and was arrested in Dartford on Friday. Immigration investigators made the arrest after it was discovered she allegedly took many citizenship tests at various centers in the UK. She disguised herself and faked ID to avoid getting caught.
During the search of her place, they found another woman in her twenties who tried hiding under a bed. They arrested her too because she’s suspected of entering the UK illegally.
Officers found many fake documents and luxury goods there, including purses, watches, and shoes. They think she bought these with crime money.
The Life in the UK test is needed for citizenship and permanent residency. It has 24 questions and checks knowledge of British values and history. Someone else taking it can cause problems and endanger the public because people could wrongly get the right to stay.
Chris Foster, who leads the investigation team, says they won’t tolerate fraud. He added that she used disguises to cheat the system and disregarded UK laws and safety. She is still in custody, and the investigation is still going on.
