Woman arrested for doing citizenship tests for 14 different migrants – wearing a DIFFERENT wig each time
A WOMAN has been arrested for completing citizenship tests for 14 different migrants – wearing a different wig each time.
The 61-year-old even disguised herself as men in her alleged attempts to win them leave to remain in the UK.
Immigration cops raided her home yesterday where they discovered her wide array of toupés.
Her meticulously-planned scam allegedly saw her complete multiple Life in the UK tests between June 2022 and August 2023 in exchange for cash.
The exam is a requirement for anyone wanting to make Britain their permanent home and involves 24 questions about our values, history and society.
She was finally busted by Immigration Enforcement Criminal and Financial investigators and is being held in custody.
Inspector Phillip Parr said: “This individual is believed to have orchestrated a pre-meditated plan to avoid detection, meticulously selecting disguises and test centre locations across the country to evade the authorities.
“As with many criminals who commit this type of crime, we believe her motive was financial gain.”
Home Office minister Dan Jarvis said: “This case should act as a warning for anyone trying to game the system – there will be consequences.
“I want to pay credit to our investigative teams who worked tirelessly to foil this woman’s attempts to avoid detection from the authorities and bring her into custody.
“For any fraudsters out there who think they can pull the wool over our eyes to stay in the UK without permission, this case makes it clear we will not tolerate it.”
