Police want to speak to woman in connection with incidents in Derbyshire, Northamptonshire, Cambridgeshire, Hampshire, Hertfordshire, Worcestershire, Hereford, Kent, Lincolnshire, North Yorkshire, South Yorkshire, Cumbria and the Greater London area.

Police have launched an appeal to trace a woman in connection with fraudulent driving tests taken in Cambridgeshire and other areas across the country.

The appeal has been launched by Derbyshire Police, following an incident in Derby that is said to have taken place last month.

Derbyshire Police said the incident took place in Quintin Road, Derby, on 18 November, where driving test staff became concerned one of the women present may have been taking a test on behalf of another person.
