Gardaí have arrested one woman this Tuesday as part of an ongoing investigation into fraudulent driver learner permits.
The investigation conducted by the Garda National Economic Crime Bureau, which began in March 2021, targeted "persons suspected to be involved in fraudulently obtained driver Learner Permits", according to a press release from An Garda Síochána.
The woman, aged in her 40s was arrested this morning and is due to appear before the Criminal Courts of Justice, Court number 3 this morning, Tuesday, June 18, 2024 at 10.30am.
During numerous search operations it was identified that 124 impersonation incidents occurred which resulted in a total of 114 third parties applying for and successfully obtaining learner permits.
Gardaí said that in some cases the third parties reported they paid "up to €2,500 for the services of an impersonator and the resultant Driver Theory Test Certificate".
All 114 parties have been identified by the RSA, and have had the Learner Permits arising from these frauds voided and revoked.
Investigations are ongoing, according to gardaí.
