Man charged with driving test fraud in Hertford
Solomon Tweneboah has also been charged in connection with other offences across the country.
A man has been arrested by police on suspicion of taking a driving theory test under an assumed identity in Hertford.
On the 19th of January, staff at the Driving Theory Test Centre at Stag House, reported that a driving licence photo of a candidate did not match his appearance. Police then arrested a man at the centre.
47-year-old Solomon Tweneboah, of Leather Gardens, East London, was arrested on suspicion of fraud by false representation and was remanded into custody. After the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) carried out a further investigation, he has now been charged in connection with several other offences from across the country.
PC Luke Griffin, who is investigating, said: ”This type of crime has been prevalent across the country over recent years. Using a proxy to take your theory test is illegal and could land you with a criminal record."
“Police work in partnership with the DVSA to ensure that standards are maintained and prevent unqualified drivers from causing problems on our roads.”
